About
I am a growth-focused CEO and %27selling Managing Director%27 with over 20 years of experience partnering with Private Equity, VCs, and Family Offices to scale up B2B technology and automation companies.
My expertise lies in consistent value improvement; most recently, I scaled the Ouman Group from €6.4M to €44M in sales while increasing EBITA from €0.6M to €4.1M. I offer boards a unique combination of high-level strategic oversight—having managed international clusters with turnovers of €85M—and deep operational experience in buy-and-build strategies, post-merger integration, and cultural turnarounds.
I don%27t just look at the numbers; I focus on the people driving them, evidenced by my success in increasing eNPS from 12% to 51%. I am looking to bring this energy and experience to boards where I can advise on international expansion, sales process optimization, and preparing companies for successful exits.
Key Value Propositions for a Board
Proven Value Creation: I have a demonstrated ability to grow EBITA and sales significantly over two decades through both organic growth and M&A.
M&A and Integration Specialist: I have extensive experience in screening targets, executing acquisitions, and integrating diverse companies into a single, high-performing culture.
Operational Excellence: My background is in in building robust logistics chains and high-quality production standards to support rapid scaling.
International Scale: I am Experienced in driving Nordic and global expansion, including establishing successful operations in Sweden, China and Russia and managing global client accounts.
Academic & Technical Foundation: I Hold an M.Sc. in Economics and I have a history of innovation with multiple patented innovations
