I have been in the tech industry since 1999, always with a focus on, how new tech can bring value in companies.

Currently, I work as a technical evangelist in a large nordic Microsoft focused consultant company. Previously my area was software engineering, but have now changed to being evangelism to bring my knowledge and expertise into play in a more strategic way.

As an evangelist, my focus is on working in strategic, technical, and innovative areas where I can leverage my knowledge and insights to bring significant value to companies. I have expertise in some of the newest technologies, such as OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, and other similar services, and I am skilled in demonstrating how companies can effectively leverage these technologies. I drive the adoption and use of new technology, speaking at events, organizing workshops and hackathons, and providing strategic guidance to help businesses innovate and grow.

My role as a Microsoft Regional Director for the past four years, an award given to only 200 people worldwide, recognizes my unique ability to combine technology with business and community initiatives. Additionally, as a Microsoft AI MVP since March 2024, I have a particular focus on Azure OpenAI and Azure AI services, further strengthening my position as a leader in the field of emerging technologies.
