About me
My passion is to motivate and engage people and groups towards shared goals.
I live in Berlin, work online, and travel for assignments.
Outside of work I enjoy continually growing, playing football and chess, and finding ways to contribute to development and sustainability in the world.
Expertise
I hold a master's in sociology and have more than 10 years of experience with Nonviolent Communication (NVC). NVC is a powerful process for creating an interpersonal culture of openness, honesty and mutual respect. Beyond NVC, I draw on a range of theories and practices, including Teal, integral, IMGD, FIRO, and insights from the field of adult development.
I speak Swedish (native), English (C2), Spanish (C1), German (C1) and French (B1).
My training
Professional development
My deep work in communication, conflict resolution, leadership and organisational development spans more than a decade. Since 2012 I have continuously trained further, focused on a few main areas:
- Nonviolent Communication & Mediation — Several year-long training programs at Friare Liv AB (2012-2020), where I have also assisted in several courses.
- Leadership & Organisational Development — My journey within leadership includes a year-long agile project leadership program, plus certifications as Scrum Master and Scrum Product Owner.
- Awareness & Personal Development — In recent years I have focused on STAGES International's framework for awareness development through Kim Barta's course series on organisational development, relationships, and the evolution of consciousness.
This combination of practical tools and theoretical frameworks gives me a unique capacity to navigate human systems and support both individuals and organisations in their development.
Academic education
Master's degree in sociology with practical philosophy and gender studies as second subjects. Theses:
- Master's thesis: Beyond romantic love – an analysis of how the dilemma of closeness vs. autonomy is handled in relationship anarchy discourse

Before I got into people…
…I was more interested in computers. I used to joke that in the future we might need to mediate conflicts between computers and humans. Things are moving so fast in AI now that maybe it is time to stop joking.
What changes might AI bring to your field?
