Me
I am quite a driven individual, always looking for more knowledge and puzzles to solve.
My quest for knowledge and self development has led me to study four degrees; BSc and MSc in Finance from Stockholm School of Economics, a BSc in Engineering from the Royal Institute of Technology and an MSc in International Management from CEMS. And am currently studying Real Estate, as it is my firm belief that keeping your brain sharp takes constant work – its like physical exercise, your mind needs training as well.
I have worked the last 10 years in Finance and Tech, and took the step to living the entrepreneur life last year. Sense I started my own consultancy (Hvitravnur AB, hvitravnur.com) I have also started an e-commerce site (tvalbutiken.se) and participated in the Cohort 5 program (FEB-APR 2021) of the tech early stage VC Antler (antler.co) to find my future co-founders.

Usability in IT systems of financial firms – a distant dream or reality?
Publication date Jun 1, 2010 at Royal Institute of Technology (KTH)
My Bachelor thesis!
“Banks have long been early adopters of technology; when it comes to usability, this thesis shows that they are also early adopters of new academic research. The problem is not adoption of a usability way of thinking, but in the way this is communicated in an organization. This thesis argues that HCI research needs to shift focus to the organizational aspect of actually implementing usability, no matter which definition of usability is used.
A greater focus on usability work in the form of usability evaluation and inclusion of end users in iterative IT development projects will not only be beneficial for banksâ cost reduction efforts, it will also be beneficial for the external users of the banksâ IT-systems, the private consumers, in the form of more usable and time efficient systems.
Different usability evaluation methods need to be used, depending on the particular function or system to be evaluated. This thesis argues that VSM is an easy to use method that can be implemented when evaluating the usability of a system or function.”

Min Stora Sorg – “Inte OK”
Made a small cameo in this music video, when I used to play for the American Football team Stockholm Mean Machines (SMM).
“Sp4zie & Athena Kör American Football!”
A collab with Coca-Cola TV to promote the DjurgÄrden American Football ladies team that I had established in 2016. I had told them I was a noob, but as a team lead and founder it fell upon me to improvise and do my best in explaining the basics of American Football and holding an impromptu training camp.
