Hi, I'm Karsten.

I like diving deep into complex topics and finding the hidden order that keeps things together.

In my professional career, I have been responsible for IT systems for 20 years in roles such as product owner, sales rep, and consultant in small and large organizations. Developing and handling IT systems is also a matter of organizing information.

I'm a pro at structuring, organizing, and sharing information, not only in academics but also in the business world. I've conducted market research for mobile phone manufacturers, medical devices, and software companies. The results were used for communication, sales, negotiations, and due diligence.

Sharing effective and efficient methods and developing tools is my passion. I'm working on, writing about, and consulting on gathering and handling market information efficiently, especially for entrepreneurs, side hustlers, and small teams who need to be efficient.

Can I help you, too? Let's get in contact to discuss ways to work together.
