I am the founder and coach behind The Black Belt in Leadership, a leadership development concept and podcast that combines martial arts principles with modern business thinking. I help leaders unlock focus, presence, resilience, and adaptability. Core skills shaped by my experience as both a martial artist and a business leader. Previously, I served as CEO of Selfly Store, an intelligent vending technology company with customers in 20+ countries and a team operating across 7. Before that, I was the CEO of Nordic Business Forum, one of the world’s leading business events. In both roles, I led high-growth international teams, scaled operations across borders, and built cultures focused on performance, innovation, and trust. I bring over 15 years of experience in executive leadership, with deep expertise in sales, marketing, customer experience, and organizational growth. My strong background in martial arts has shaped my leadership philosophy around lifelong learning, discipline, and coaching others to succeed. I speak regularly at international conferences and events, and have delivered 200+ keynotes and panel sessions per year in more than 10 countries, including the USA, UK, Germany, and France. I am also a co-author of The Winner’s Mindset, an Amazon #1 bestseller in three categories. My upcoming book, The Black Belt in Leadership – 20 Lessons Learned from the Dojo to the Board Room, will be published on August 19th.
