What I'm looking for

I seek senior roles that let me lead enterprise AI and cloud data platform programs, operationalize governed ML, and drive measurable business impact in collaborative, compliance-focused teams.

I am an AI, data and cloud transformation leader with 18+ years building governed, scalable data ecosystems that deliver measurable business value.

I bridge strategy and engineering to design Analytical Data Platforms, AI Factories, and MLOps frameworks on Azure, GCP, BigQuery and Snowflake, aligning implementations with governance standards such as DAMA-DMBOK and the EU AI Act.

My work has delivered faster time-to-market, improved data quality and explainability through knowledge graphs, feature stores, semantic pipelines and RAG/XAI approaches, and I have led cross-functional teams across enterprise and academic settings.

I am fluent in English and conversational in Norwegian, and I pursue roles that translate data strategy into operationalized platforms, compliant AI practices, and sustained business impact.
