Building software that solves real problems

I'm an engineer-turned-entrepreneur based in Oslo, Norway. I love taking ideas from zero to one, understanding customer problems deeply, and building products that create real impact.

Right now, I'm focused on Luminik, making event marketing teams more effective through AI automation. B2B companies spend 20-30% of their marketing budget on events, but most can't prove the ROI. We're changing that by helping teams identify ICP accounts weeks in advance, pre-book meetings, and turn event spend into measurable pipeline.

I discovered this opportunity while building SnowOptix (a Snowflake cost optimization tool now used by McKinsey) and talking to GTM leaders. Before this, I built Aura at Bain - a PE due diligence platform that went from zero to $3.6M ARR in 18 months, and led Mainteny to a $2.7M seed round.

Where I've built and shipped

From founding startups to leading venture builds at global consulting firms, I've been fortunate to work on impactful products across industries.
