Making IT strategy that matter

I help organizations with complex, business-critical technology landscapes establish a clear direction—and turn it into decisions, action and lasting change.

Engage me as an adviser or interim leader to help connecting strategy, architecture and execution.

Engage me when

A transformation has lost momentum or is not delivering the expected value.

Technology and architecture complexity is obstructing business priorities.

A consequential decision must be made about platforms, vendors or strategic direction.

Experienced technology or architecture leadership is needed for a critical period.

What I do

I create strategic direction and turn it into working reality.

IT Strategy & Enterprise Architecture

I can help turning business priorities into clear technology direction, target architectures and actionable roadmaps.

Transformation & Modernization

Leading complex transformation initiatives—from legacy modernization and platform evolution to simplification and technical debt reduction.

Software Product Development

Strengthen software product development by aligning business needs, product direction, architecture and engineering execution.

Interim & Fractional Leadership

Provide experienced, hands-on leadership for software, technology and architecture teams during periods of change.

My background

Experience shaped by complex, business-critical technology.

For more than 20 years, I have worked with large and complex IT organizations, combining technology depth with senior leadership and commercial perspective.

As former CTO at SDC, I held responsibility for technical strategy and architecture for a SaaS banking platform serving more than 50 Nordic banks. Today, I bring that experience directly into every engagement—without layers between the challenge and the senior adviser.
