  • Work

    Abraca, Founder & CEO (2021–present)
    Our vision is to co-create the first generation of impact-scale businesses operating on a regenerative business model. By combining natural intelligence with the best of business practice, we act as a co-founder-as-a-service for new ventures and a strategic development partner for established companies. Our expertise lies in system-level business design, efficient implementation through optimised models and aligned fundraising.

    Måndag (new: Common Ground), CEO (2022–2023), Chair (2023–2024)
    Creative change agency focused on sustainability and human rights, working with clients like COP28, UN delegations and climate funds. In my CEO sprint for Måndag, I restructured the company by renewing the business plan, establishing a board structure, cleaning up unhealthy finances (leading to 50% growth rate with 8% profit) and onboarding 6 new partners through an investment round. After the founder moved to India, Måndag’s story ended and a new era started under a new name and business.

    Lovia, CEO (2017–2021), Chair (2021–2022)
    Led a sustainable fashion brand with a circular business model. Positioned Lovia as a pioneer in the field, raised nearly 1M € in funding and grew revenue from under 100K € to over 600K € in a few years.
