About

At the intersection of business, technology & the ocean.

I am a digital project and program leader with 28+ years of international experience across business, technology, software delivery, data-driven innovation and digital platforms. My recent work has focused on aquaculture technology, AI-enabled analytics, BI reporting, feeding optimisation and cross-functional product delivery.

I work best at the intersection of business and technology — translating operational needs into practical digital initiatives, aligning stakeholders, structuring roadmaps, and helping teams move from ideas and R&D concepts into usable, value-creating solutions.

My journey spans Norway, Japan, the USA and Bangladesh — from hospital and embedded systems to digital health platforms, Nordic travel portals and AI-driven aquaculture tools.
