About Me
I love working with business development activities and I have done it successfully for the past 15 years or so. Facing a business-related challenge, breaking it down to its parts and delivering solutions that improve measurable results is my area of expertise. I have both studied the process (I hold a Ph.D. from the Stockholm School of Economics), practiced it at large consultancy companies (among others IBM Business Services) and for the last 6 years, I have run my own consultancy business.
