A Perspective Shaped by Experience

I am a sociologist, leadership consultant, and entrepreneur based in Norway. My work draws on more than twenty years of international experience across humanitarian, diplomatic, healthcare, corporate, and social sectors.

I hold a Master’s degree in Sociology and have worked extensively with coaching, mentoring, communication, leadership development, and organizational design.

My particular interest lies in how individuals and groups interpret their experiences, how they respond under pressure, and how recurring patterns shape perception, behavior, and decision-making.

 Over the course of my career, I have designed and facilitated leadership and learning programs for professionals and organizations operating in complex and demanding environments. I have also developed Functional Empathy, a practical framework for understanding and strengthening empathic communication and interpersonal effectiveness.

I lived in Lebanon for fourteen years, where I worked in the humanitarian sector. Living and working in the Middle East had a lasting influence on my thinking. It deepened my interest in culture, identity, belonging, and the ways in which social norms, institutional dynamics, and broader political contexts shape how people understand themselves and others.

Together with my partner, I also run a medical practice in central Oslo, where I serve as Managing Director. Building and operating a healthcare business has provided practical experience in entrepreneurship, organizational design, and the development of systems that support both quality and sustainability.

My perspective is shaped not only by academic study and professional experience, but also by a longstanding personal inquiry into identity, resilience, and the ways in which people are shaped by their histories, relationships, and social environments.

My approach is thoughtful, practical, and direct. I am particularly interested in helping individuals and organizations develop a clearer understanding of the patterns that influence how they lead, communicate, and work togethe
