I had the great privilege of experiencing Queen Rania at LeWeb10 talking about her cause and passion – helping children get access to an education. Not only does she do a magnificent job, she also has a talent for communicating offline and especially online. She is a role model to other public profiles, using their social position to [...]
Being a woman in tech, men will outnumber you at most occasion, and the big question is why are there so few women in tech? I attended Geek´n Rolla on April 21, where there was a panel discussion on the matter, and it really engaged the audience. Some of the reasons mentioned for the lack [...]
When we are online it is all about sharing and participating. This is not our natural offline behavior, but we change attitude in the digital sphere – most of us anyway. And the amazing thing is that it is contagious. We trust, we share, we participate and so does everyone else, meaning that you can [...]

September 5th 2008 I decided to quit my job as CEO at Socialsquare for various reasons. Although it was difficult to pull the brake and leave a team of wonderful people, the instant feeling of relief and happiness proved it was the right decision. Closing one door opens another.
