After 13 years as a professional ice hockey player, I turned another passion of mine—technology—into my second career. With a background in computer science and further education in marketing, sales, and business information technology, I bring a unique mix of skills to the table. As Co-Lead of Platform Engineers at Puzzle, I help companies navigate their platform initiatives – from first ideas to implementation and ongoing operations. I believe IT should be a key enabler of business value, not just a cost center. My experience as a Scrum Master and project leader has sharpened my ability to build teams, align visions, and solve problems collaboratively. Platform engineering, product thinking, strategic transformations and organizational design are areas I’m deeply passionate about.
