3connected perspectives
01 — About me
More than 15 years as an entrepreneur have taught me how to turn ideas into services, solutions into customer value and plans into practical action.
I have built businesses, services, customer relationships and partnerships in a changing technology environment. My experience ranges from electricity and data networks to cybersecurity, renewable energy, properties and artificial intelligence.
Today, my focus is on the future: how AI, human observations and foresight can help businesses and communities — as well as nature and animals — thrive.
Three perspectives
One way to see the whole.
Foresight
Anticipation, weak signals and recognising change before it becomes obvious to everyone.
Nature
The wellbeing of nature and animals, and the potential of technology to make environmental change visible.
02 — Selected projects
Ideas developed into
working solutions.
These projects share a desire to recognise change early and use technology responsibly for people, organisations and nature.

The most valuable role of technology is not merely to improve efficiency. It can make invisible change visible.
What guides my work
Technology for people and nature.
I look for solutions that are ethical, understandable and practical to implement. The wellbeing of nature and animals is not a footnote in my work — it is one reason to look at the future more carefully.
