What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a remote product role in Europe.

I’m a Swedish product manager based in Paris, looking for a remote role in Europe. My background is in mobile. I started as an iOS and React Native developer and mobile lead, building apps for clients in automotive, e-commerce, real estate, finance and media. I then moved into leadership as a CTO and COO, and into product management.

At a start-up in Stockholm I owned the product and roadmap for a consumer mobile app on iOS and Android. I ran discovery with user interviews and pilots, tested ideas with feature flags and A/B tests, and shipped a release at the end of every sprint. I reviewed the North Star metric and core KPIs with the CEO and team every week. I also led the app team at Sharpist, a B2B2C coaching platform, and at Raincode I was the product lead on AI products for a bank and a betting company.

I enjoy understanding users through both data and conversations with them, and turning that into clear priorities. I like working in small, fast-moving teams where people take ownership, and I care about supporting and coaching the people I work with. Earlier, I helped build Netlight’s Berlin office from around 10 to 200 people.

Outside work, I run an independent music label and enjoy music production and long-distance cycling.
