Proudest Mentor Moment
"My best outcomes came from pushing founders to simplify, move fast, and obsess only over what truly matters. Most startups die from distraction, not competition. The founders who embraced high-velocity focus became some of the Nordic AI ecosystem’s top performers. Helping them make that shift is what I’m most proud of."
