I'm currently the CEO of [Fenerum](/companies/fenerum/), a subscription billing platform for SaaS companies, and serve on the board of [Plecto](/companies/plecto/), where I was CEO for 10 years.

## Background

I started my career in a call center at a Scandinavian satellite TV provider after dropping out of university. Within months, I built an early performance tracking system that increased our team's performance by 50%. That system eventually became Plecto.

After a detour working as a Python developer in Switzerland, I co-founded Plecto in 2012. Over the next decade, we grew it from three people in a small office to a company with 45 employees, €4M in revenue, and customers across Europe and the US. We raised funding from investors including Jesper Buch and Jan Lehrmann.

In 2022, I stepped down as CEO of Plecto to focus on building Fenerum and working with other SaaS founders.

## What I've Learned

Running a B2B SaaS company for a decade teaches you things you can't learn anywhere else. I've made plenty of mistakes - from infrastructure decisions that cost us sleep to pricing strategies that left money on the table. But I've also learned what actually works: how to build sustainable subscription businesses, scale sales teams, and create predictable revenue growth.

## Advisory & Board Work

I work with SaaS founders and CEOs on:
- Subscription business models and pricing strategy
- Building and scaling sales teams
- SaaS metrics and financial planning
- Transitioning from founder-led sales to scalable processes

I'm not currently open to new advisory roles, board positions, or other engagements. Please don't reach out about new opportunities at this time.
