A lifelong question,
held with care.
“What helps people create a meaningful and intentional life — especially during periods of change and uncertainty?”
Everything that follows — the corporate years, the moves between continents, the family, the threshold moments, and the methodology — is an answer-in-progress to that single question.
The path that built the method.
- Chapter I
An international beginning
I grew up between cultures and countries — Sweden and the United States among them — fascinated early by how different societies define a good life. Those years built an instinct that has stayed with me: the values we inherit are rarely the ones we end up choosing.
- Chapter II
Economics, business, leadership
I trained in economics and business, then spent more than sixteen years inside international corporate life — leadership, sales, and marketing roles across European and global organisations. I learned how strategy actually moves through people, and how often capable leaders quietly outgrow the structures they helped build.
- Chapter III
Parenthood and presence
Becoming a father of three reshaped the questions I had been carrying. Ambition without presence began to feel like a quieter form of absence. The work I do today is, in part, an answer to that tension — and a refusal to choose between depth and direction.
- Chapter IV
A threshold I did not plan
A serious ski accident and the recovery that followed became its own kind of threshold. It clarified something I had already suspected: external success without internal alignment slowly becomes a quiet form of disorientation. The accident did not change my values. It revealed them.
- Chapter V
Leaving the corporate arc
I stepped away from the corporate path not because it failed, but because it was finished. What I had learned about leadership, change, and the architecture of decisions wanted a different container — one closer to the people I most wanted to work with.
- Chapter VI
Your North Star
Out of that transition came Your North Star and the Strategic Alignment Method — a structured way of helping people redesign the next phase of their life and work with honesty, depth, and care.
A quieter kind of strategy.
Most of the people I work with do not need more advice. They need a thinking partner with structure — someone who can help them separate what is theirs from what was inherited, and translate that clarity into a coherent next chapter.
My work is not therapy, not coaching in the conventional sense, and not consulting. It is a structured advisory practice for the most important strategic question a person can ask: how do I want this next phase of my life to be designed?
Meaningful change rarely begins with a breakthrough. It begins with the willingness to look honestly at what is.
A life in motion, by design.
I live with my family across places, in conversation with nature, with my children, and with the work itself. Alignment is not a method I teach from a distance — it is a practice I live, slowly and imperfectly, like everyone.
