Profile
Who am I? I believe I see opportunities instead of constraints, get out of my comfort zone in order to keep growing and have a good capability of connecting with all kinds of people.
Open-minded cosmopolitan
Inspiration from and experience with other cultures is something I found extremely valuable for both personal and professional development. I have studied abroad for a semester, worked with other nationalities home and abroad and always loved to travel to exotic places such as Asia, Africa and North America as well as around Europe. Meeting other cultures has given me a new perspective on ways of living and doing business, which is also what I am looking forward to with the GSE experience in Chile.
Strategic generalist
In my job as a management consultant I need to be ready for new challenges, meet new people, and adapt to different working environments. These elements coupled with complex problem solving, business strategy and change management are what I really like by my job.
My job contains many types of focus areas. Among others I have worked with process optimization for pharmaceutical company, digitalisation of communication in an insurance company, analysis of how to expand possibilities for a Telco/IT company, outsourcing for a media company, part of a big transformation program for a bank. Having been exposed to these different kinds of projects in companies across different sectors has given me a broad experience, which will serve as a solid foundation for a future leadership position that I hope for.
Active idealist
I am interested in what is going on around me, both on a political and a cultural level. Through my studies in Business Administration and Philosophy as well as International Business I have been introduced to Corporate Social responsibility, which I would like to get more hands on experience with. I spend a night a week volunteering in a homework club for children of second generation immagrants sponsored by the Red Cross.
I live in the centre of Copenhagen, and love to go out on restaurants, for a concert or a long walk with friends and family. Furthermore, I like to be sporty by swimming in the morning, running and spinning. Active vacations especially skiing is also something that I am very fond of. I love skiing since it is challenging, adventurous and social, three values that I emphasise to live by.
