About
Hi, I’m Jess.
This is my story.
Growing up in an idyllic small town in Sweden, I wanted to become two things: a journalist, and an inventor. First, however, I decided to leave for worldly adventures: Europe by train, Asia on a shoestring, Australia by kangaroo – pitstopping for a corndog or two in San Francisco – and, somewhere along the way, graduating with a BA in Communication (journalist dreams ✔) and MSc in Business, specializing in Entrepreneurship & Innovation (inventor dreams ✔).
I love NEW, I love GOOD, and I love taking COMPLEX IDEAS & PROJECTS and breaking them down into concrete and understandable little pieces. This entails grasping how we think, talk, and communicate; how we create conditions for knowledge sharing within and beyond organizations; and how we foster the necessary relationships to grow ecosystems, ideas, and communities.
When I’m not working projects I love, you’ll probably find me snowboarding, enjoying music festivals, or sipping craft brews on a sunny patio.
