Akademisk tittel: PhD

I specialise in the intersections of media, technology, strategy, and innovation. My PhD from the University of Cambridge examined the newspaper industry's digital and financial transformation through quantitative and qualitative methods, including 125 interviews with media executives. I'm an adept public speaker and often feature in Norwegian media as an expert on media business. I also co-host NHH's podcast on leadership research ('Lederskap') and write a regular column for Aftenposten.

Research interests:

  • Media business
