Responsible for Strategic Communications at Digital Futures.

Digital Futures is a cross-disciplinary research centre that explores and develops digital technologies of great societal importance. It was jointly established in 2020 by KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm University and RISE Research Institutes of Sweden, based on significant long-term support of a Strategic Research Area by the Swedish Government.

The vision of Digital Futures is to shape an economically, environmental and socially sustainable society through digital transformation. Our mission is to create an international breeding ground to excel in research, empower people by fostering innovation, education, leadership, and entrepreneurial spirit, and build a strong community.

The overall objective of Digital Futures is to become one of the top five university research centres worldwide in the area of technologies for digital transformation, with tight interactions between academia, industry and society.

The initiative is unique, based on significant long-term financial support from the Swedish government, with KTH, Stockholm University, the Research Institute of Sweden RISE, and partners from the Stockholm region in collaboration.

ABOUT ME - PASSION FOR PEOPLE, CULTURE, AND COMMUNICATION
I'm a result-oriented sales and marketing-focused leader with broad international communication experience. Work experience from competitive international companies with global consumer products, in the telecom industry, with innovation, entrepreneurship and education, the Swedish real estate market, and non-profit organizations.

Experience with different nationalities and business cultures has allowed me to lead international teams. I appreciate a value-driven work environment and am curious, committed, and like challenges.

I want to inspire and have the ability to communicate visions, goals, and results convincingly. I have held various positions as Chief Marketing Officer, Director of Marketing & Communications, Sales and Marketing Manager, and interim manager, focusing on sustainable leadership, sales, marketing and communication to help companies and people grow.

I love to engage, improve and develop.
