My work, My passion

LEADER

I create responsible leadership! I create circles of trust and I empower my team. I believe in people. The people I lead are stars, they can be trusted, become more than they think and transform into problem-solvers and independent do’ers. I develop programs, ideas and create strategies. I implement fast and learn as we go.

ADVISOR

I build bridges, communities and impact! I help startups, companies, foundations and governments with social transition, equity and diversity work and building new ecosystems and networks for change. I consult and create journeys on all things JEDI, impact, social startup & Africa related. I connect, develop and matchmake people, programs, organizations and continents.

DJ

I love music and come from a family of musicians and music lovers. Music transcends space and time! It communicates without language and is a cultural exchange catalyst like no other. I have been a DJ for 25 years -rocking dance floors, empowering youth and women through music.

WOMAN

I am woman. And I consider it to be one of my top superpowers. I utilize being a woman in every aspect of my life – in my leadership style, my authenticity, my work ethics and my passion for the feminine ethos.

MOTHER

I am a mother with a capital M. I have two sons and am the bonus mother of 2 girls. I have 2 and I have 4 kids depending on when you ask me. They are the future and I work to make the world a better place for them – through my work, being a rolemodel and being authentic me.

SISTER

I am a family person and I have a big extended one made of the people I have chosen and the one that was chosen for me. I cherish being a sister: o friendship, color and family!

Me, Myself and I

For the last 15 years I have been focusing on social justice, equity, diversity and belonging, development issues, social entrepreneurship and ecosystem building in Denmark and Sub- Saharan Africa. In government institutions, NGOs, as founder, consultant, manager and CEO.

Purpose means many different things to many people. For me a life of purpose translates into working with creating value, not only for myself by attaining my personal goals but creating impact for society through a collaborative approach. I am lucky to have been working in this space for quite a while – it has lead to meaningful encounters, fun and hard work and it has made me happy!

At the moment, I am Head of Partnerships for Girls Are Awesome and I do consulting on the side mostly for the BMW Foundation, so it’s about empowering leaders promoting responsible leadership as well as gender and racial equity. Before that i spend my time supporting entrepreneurs as CEO of Impact Hub Johannesburg – it was rewarding, exciting and full of purpose. To change society, to empowering my all female team and to create meaningful impact.

I build bridges between my two continents and I split my time between Denmark and South Africa. I travel with my kids and my husband. Being from both countries it is a privilege to be able to work, live and love with a foot in both countries.
