Swedish, based in Brussels with 20 years of professional experience from culture and creative sectors.
Passionate about strategic cultural relations, the role of culture in the society and social innovation.

Recently I wrote the master thesis "Cultural diplomacy - an exercise for a tightrope artist", about how we need to see cultural diplomacy with new eyes, how it needs to address larger audiences and global challenges, respect both international relations agenda as well as the culture and creative sectors.

Creativity in business and entrepreneurial skills in art and creative sectors; I consider myself being a facilitator between art, creative sectors and business, politics, a cultural broker if one wishes.

Years in managing and coordinating positions has given me thorough skills and competences in management of different types of legal entities.
Managed a small company and employees at 23 years of age.
Experience from think tanks, organisations, networks, companies within the cultural sphere
Lived in 5 EU countries, worked in at least 12.
Hands on experience; responsibility, implemented decisions, results, evaluations, conclusions; new starts.

An assessment showed that I have a yellow Herrman Wholebrain Thinking profile (creative, imaginative, intuitive, holistic); fit to work with innovation.
