🌍 Experienced Finance Manager | Strategic Leader in Financial Management | Multilingual Business Professional

I am a dedicated and strategic finance leader with extensive expertise in financial management, accounting, and business development. My career is built on a strong foundation of leading financial operations, optimizing processes, and driving organizational growth through data-driven decision-making and proactive management.

📈 Driving Financial Excellence at VertiGIS

In my new role as Finance Manager at VeriGIS, I oversee both accounting and financial control for the Swedish operations. Reporting directly to the Group CFO, I lead a local finance team of two, contributing to the company’s growth both in the short and long term. I am part of a global financial organization, collaborating with colleagues across Europe and North America to enhance our financial practices and outcomes.

My key responsibilities include ensuring the integrity of our financial statements and compliance with reporting requirements. I lead a local finance team and collaborate closely with the management team to drive both short-term and long-term business development. My role involves continuous internal reporting, monthly closings, and contributing to strategic decision-making through KPI-driven analysis. I am dedicated to identifying and implementing process improvements within and beyond the finance function, leading budget and forecast processes, and participating in group-wide development and improvement initiatives.

🌐 Strategic Leadership & Collaboration

With a relevant university degree and extensive experience in leading financial roles, I bring a combination of expertise in economics and a drive to take overall responsibility. I am comfortable in my accounting skills, have a high level of ambition, and strive to influence and contribute positively. I seek understanding and solutions, acting proactively to develop myself, the finance function, and the business as a whole.

🌍 Multilingual & Global Perspective

Proficient in both Swedish and English, I thrive in diverse, multicultural environments and have a proven track record of successful collaboration across international teams. My approach is rooted in proactive leadership, continuous improvement, and a commitment to excellence.

🤝 Let’s Connect

As I embark on this new chapter at VertiGIS, I am eager to connect with professionals and explore opportunities for collaboration, idea exchange, and discussions about financial management, business development, and strategic growth.

turn your audience into your champions: ignite curiosity 🔥 scaffold understanding ✔ maximize impact 🚀. The PresentBetter Program for lab research groups & academic institutes -now over 7,000 researchers served.

Every piece of research, when effectively communicated, can spark change. 

In academia. In careers. In society.

But too often, important findings remain hidden, their potential unrealized. 
The importance/impact of research gets:
●	Buried under layers of complexity
●	Communicated without connecting
●	Overwhelmed by scientific terms and processes

This is why I created PresentBetter: 
To transform how your researchers share their ideas with the world. 
Together we distill years of complex study into clear, compelling narratives that resonate with and inspire audiences.
By amplifying researcher’s voices, we elevate the ability to communicate research in ways that:
●	Moves people
●	Propels careers forward
●	Bridges the gap between academia and society

Through PresentBetter.org, I offer tailored solutions to meet diverse needs:
1.	Individual Coaching: One-on-one sessions crafted for your specific presentation challenges.
2.	Lab and Department Workshops: Small group training to elevate your entire team's communication skills.
3.	Institutional Programs: Comprehensive, scalable solutions for universities and research institutions.
4.	Conference and Event Preparation: Targeted coaching for high-stakes presentations that can define careers.
5.	Online Courses: Self-paced learning for researchers seeking flexibility.

We aim to create a future where every researcher's voice resonates with clarity and impact.



PS Wondering if too good to be true? Here's a link to the talk I coached that was voted the best 3 minute research presentation in North America last year.

Co-Founder

I work with individuals and organizations to help researchers present better. I start with helping them find their story and then coach them to deliver it in the most effective way.  Since Covid, my work has focused around helping people navigate the shifts to presenting online: 
👉 your voice (tone, pace, volume, pausing) remains your most important tool, and embracing the attitudes and feeling you want to convey is your most critical skill.
👉 stories still rule: tech interaction tricks are useful, but don't get sucked too far down that rabbit hole because stories are still the most effective driver of deep engagement, learning and memory.
👉 understand the impact of body language: while it has become less impactful on the audience, it still influences your own confidence and energy.
👉 the movement of visuals in person competes with your ability to engage your audience, but online, that same movement helps capture and retain attention: adjust accordingly.
