What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build data platforms and AI at scale, or apply systematic innovation expertise to drive measurable outcomes. Intersection of energy domain and digital solutions is especially interesting

I am a technology advisor and project leader with 15+ years in Oil & Gas, Energy and Data Intelligence, specializing in data platforms,

AI and data governance. Currently at Rystad Energy, I lead a company-wide data platform development project: backend, APIs, and

agentic AI - while advising leadership on data governance strategy and AI-assisted GDPR compliance auditing. Previously, I worked

as a senior analyst at Rystad Energy, responsible for subsea oil and gas supply chain market research. I have advised C-suite leaders

at Equinor, Subsea7, AkerBP and others, shaping technology and market strategy as well as investment decisions. I developed digital

twin software and served as a trusted technology advisor for Oil & Gas / renewable energy industries at FutureOn.

Moreover, during my career I worked several years as a Business Developer and gained significant experience in this field. In addition

to general business development responsibilities at the company, I had been creating and managing startup companies myself and

was working with innovative technology development. Earlier, I engineered subsea systems on deepwater megaprojects at Aker

Solutions.
