About me


A highly skilled engineering specialist with extensive experience in structural design and technology development within the offshore industry. With a professional career spanning over two decades, I have held key roles in industry-leading organizations such as Ørsted, Vattenfall, and Rambøll, contributing to offshore structural integrity, foundation design, and advanced fatigue analyses. Passionate about driving innovation, I actively contribute to international research and bridge the gap between traditional engineering and AI driven solutions. My ability to work independently, in teams and with diverse stakeholders has been crucial in driving project success. I also bring a deep understanding of cultural intelligence, enabling me to navigate global collaborations and deliver results across industries.
In addition to my engineering career, I have successfully built a real estate investment portfolio, independently developing a strategic approach to maximize returns. My investments continue to generate strong cash flow and long-term financial growth, reflecting my analytical mindset and ability to make data-driven decisions across industries. This experience has honed my financial planning, risk assessment, and business negotiation skills, allowing me to identify high-potential opportunities, structure favorable deals, and optimize portfolio performance through strategic decision-making.
