Who I am

CEO, marketing leader & SEO geek

After more than ten years in digital marketing, I now lead Maxis.dk and Billigtraening.dk as CEO. That means I know the pressure on a bottom line from the inside.

Through Profit Studio I bring that same thinking to other brands: SEO, paid advertising, email, and data working together toward one goal. I have also spoken at eTail Nordic on how GenAI is reshaping content and tracking.
