About Me

I work as Managing Director for mobiOne, a specialist management consulting firm for the digital media industry. I specialize in corporate strategy development and execution, management for hire, new business/product development and mergers & acquisitions. Current clients include one of the world’s leaders in online payments.  Previously, I was COO for a viral marketing and entertainment service, called Storyz.

Storyz allowed brands to engage users in conversational style competitions, that ran across platforms (web (Facebook, MySpace, etc), email, mobile sites and mobile applications). I founded and headed up my own company in the mobile content distribution space, called MoConDi. It was the first company to have an open model for distribution of mobile content such as games, wallpapers, ringtones and more.  We had over 1000 content partners, and contracts with major mobile operators across Europe. We pioneered the mobile content distribution model, which earned me a TV spot on CNBC:

I also headed up Corporate Strategy and Development for The Mobile Media Company. Mobile Media was a pioneer in mobile streaming and 3D animation on mobile phones.  I set up a development office in Sri Lanka, ran the Sales & Marketing office in London, and created business plans for the company’s many technology platforms.  I was also part of launching the western world’s first live mobile streaming demo of a TV program on GPRS, when we streamed Big Brother in Sweden (the technology was almost easier to build than getting the correct GPRS settings from Swedish operators!).

Before going into mobile, I worked in Strategy Consulting, Corporate Finance and Knowledge Management for Ernst & Young.  I also worked as a consultant and systems developer for Andersen Consulting (Accenture).

I have an MBA from the Haas School of Business, University of California at Berkeley, and a BBA from Texas A&M University.

I have played 20 seasons of American Football in Norway and lastly in Australia.  Currently I compete actively in beach volleyball.
