About
I work with how human beings think, decide, and take responsibility, in organisations and in life.
I have always had a particular talent for seeing what is really going on beneath the strategies, the decisions, the power, the tempo, and the expectations. Today I use that talent in its purest form, as a personal adviser to leaders with strategic responsibility.
Background
I trained as a lawyer at the University of Copenhagen and have worked as a lawyer and partner. I am also a trained mediator and have practised in conflict mediation. I have been chief executive of Freeway Group, an investor on the Danish edition of Dragons' Den (Løvens Hule), and a co-founder of Nordic Female Founders. In 2023 I served for a short period as Denmark's Minister for Digitalisation and Equality. I have sat on boards including the Danish Chamber of Commerce, UNICEF Denmark, and the Export and Investment Fund of Denmark (EIFO), Denmark's export credit agency and national promotional bank.
Throughout my working life, business leaders have sought me out as an adviser. That experience has become my practice.
What has driven me all along is a deep interest in human integrity: the alignment between who we are and what we do. I spend a considerable part of my time expanding my knowledge and skills in that field. At present I am studying how creative expression can strengthen a person's integrity.
How I work
I work with a few leaders at a time, and each of them has my full attention. I take no notes and keep no fixed plan from one session to the next. Each session begins with whatever matters most to the leader that day.
I draw on my whole experience as a lawyer, mediator, chief executive, investor, and board member, and I ask a great many questions. What leaders take with them is a clearer sense of their own choices and of how they want to act on them.
The studio
Alongside the conversations, I work with clay. Thinking with the hands opens a different access to insight than thinking in words. It is part of my practice.
