EXPERIENCE

A STRATEGIC PERSPECTIVE ON COMPLEXITY

Born in Sweden, Nina was fortunate to start traveling early on in life. Learning and making friends from visiting, studying, and working in North- and Central America, Africa, across Europe and in Asia created a strong urge to contribute to positive change on a global scale.

The route from Mechanical Engineering at KTH, a MSc & Economics degree from the Stockholm School of Economics, and working at Goldman Sachs in London and later as a strategy consultant for Bain & Company to focusing on impact entrepreneurship started by exploring how change happens and how humans behave. From there grew a desire to fully understand how we learn. Evidence from a number of fields and research teams of psychologists and neuroscientists across Europe and in the US were combined and the new ideas tested with entrepreneurs, teachers and students. The outcome became the foundation for a new approach to coaching startups, managers, and schools. When combined with Nina's passion for strategy and broad understanding of the world including the accelerating technological development new impactful methods emerged.
