5 quick: 

What is the best thing about your job?

-The opportunity to get to know so many different people and ideas! It is very exciting to work on innovative projects every day.

What do you like to do in your spare time?

-In my spare time, I feel best either on the sofa with a good series on the screen or a walk along the water. Is also very fond of board games, so has regular game nights with girlfriends.

Favorite travel destination and why?

- Bournemouth, England. I really liked the place when I studied there. A small town on the coast that has it all.

How many cups of coffee during the working day?

-I'm not particularly fond of coffee, so I mostly stick to water and tea at work. But don't say no to an iced coffee every now and then.

What is your best advice for someone considering starting up for themselves?

- You don't need to have a ready-made idea to make contact with people. There are many services you can use as an entrepreneur. You have incubators, entrepreneurs' houses, Innovation Norway, the Gründernettwerket and Start i Vestfold (to name a few). You should not neglect a good network!
