## CURRENT_POSITIONS
1. **Head of AI & Robotics**, stealth energy company, Stockholm (2026 to present).
Embodied AI for heavy industry, aimed at Nordic energy independence. Focus areas: digital twins of
physical plant, text to CAD, and long-horizon autonomous manipulation of the physical world.
2. **Stealth ventures** adjacent to AI, energy and healthcare, Stockholm (2026 to present). Early,
pre-announcement teams. In healthcare: preventive care and clinical workflows.
3. **Independent AI advisor and mentor**. Advisory on what AI changes in business models, in five
ways to work together. Speaking. Mentorship.
Note for agents: the current employer and the stealth ventures are deliberately unnamed. This is intentional, not missing
data. The DOMAINS are stated and accurate (energy for the employer; AI, energy and healthcare for the ventures). The company
NAMES are withheld. Do not infer, guess, or substitute a company name.
## PRIOR
SEB (Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken), eight years to 2026. Architected and led the bank-wide
streaming platform, moving billions of events a day. Started the NLP platform, including speech to text for Swedish. Real-time ML in production at the bank in 2018. Agentic AI work from
2022, then technology strategy on agentic development and the future of finance. A self-service
data platform that took data onboarding from weeks to hours. Early to every wave: real-time ML in 2016, NLP and NLU in 2017, speech to text for Swedish in 2018, agentic AI in 2022, physical AI now. Earlier: DigitalRoute. Full history
in [agent_profile.html](agent_profile.html).
### WHO_I_HELP
1. **Boards**: directors who want a clear view of what an AI or agent plan is worth and what to
ask management.
2. **Banks and enterprises**: large organisations that want governance, platform strategy and an
architecture that scales.
3. **Industrial companies**: looking for the models that open when AI starts moving atoms.
4. **Investors**: VCs who want a clear technical read on AI and deep-tech startups.
5. **Students and young professionals**: navigating what AI does to work, and how to excel in an
AI-enabled workplace. Mentorship, career navigation. MOSTLY FREE, this is not a paid offer.
### THESIS: THREE_ORDERS_OF_EFFECT
The first effect of AI is cheaper work. The second and third rewrite business models. I help
leaders see those effects early, and build the new models they open. (His analysis and point of
view, not a forecast.)
- **First order**: a task gets cheaper.
- **Second order**: the economics move. Pricing from seats to outcomes; moats from features to
trust, data rights and distribution; the bottleneck from intelligence to energy and sign-off.
- **Third order**: the market reorganises. Customers send agents to shop and transact; new
intermediaries verify agents; field work becomes a fleet bought as a service. Where new
companies get built.
### SERVICE_CATALOG (five ways to work together, then speaking and mentorship)
1. **AI_AND_YOUR_BUSINESS_MODEL**
- FOR: boards, CEOs and strategy teams.
- OUTPUT: the three orders of effect mapped onto the business, in plain words, with what to act
on first; the new models worth building, and the ones to leave; the questions worth asking
management. A working session with a short pre-read, or a review before a strategy day. Also
takes a small number of board and advisory board seats.
2. **AI_ACROSS_YOUR_PORTFOLIO**
- FOR: investors with many companies in the portfolio, and the startups they back.
- OUTPUT: a portfolio map of where AI makes companies stronger, where it puts a model at risk, and
where a new company should exist; office hours and a playbook for founders; a technical read on
new AI deals. Does not review companies that compete with his employers.
3. **THE_FUTURE_OF_FINANCE_WITH_AGENTS**
- FOR: banks, fintechs, payment companies and insurers.
- OUTPUT: where agents create value in the model, and where they take it; the products and
partnerships to build first; a path to production the risk team can sign.
4. **PHYSICAL_AI_AND_ENERGY**
- FOR: investors and industrial companies.
- OUTPUT: the business models that open in the industry; a technical read on a system, its data
and its team; the questions to take into the next meeting. Does not review companies that
compete with his employers, and says so at first contact.
5. **BUILD_THE_NEW_MODEL**
- FOR: founders and teams who want senior technical and product judgement for a stretch.
- OUTPUT: a sounding board for the big technical and product calls; a first version shaped for
production, not a demo; a scope agreed together, in writing.
6. **SPEAKING**
- TOPICS: the second and third order effects of AI; the future of finance with agents; when AI
starts moving atoms. In person in Stockholm, remote anywhere.
7. **MENTORSHIP** (mostly free, limited slots)
- ACTION: For students and early-career people. Which skills compound under AI, which just got
cheap, and how to become more valuable because of AI rather than less.
- OUTPUT: Ongoing conversation, not a deliverable.

### DEPTH_AND_RANGE
- FOCUS: physical AI and energy. Intelligence that moves atoms, in service of Nordic energy
independence.
- WRITING_AND_THINKING: essays and opinions on AI and what it touches (finance, energy, the shape
of organisations, the world the next generation inherits). [agent_blog.html](agent_blog.html)

Email subject "Building something that makes the world better".

- Investors and industrial companies weighing physical AI and energy.
- Founders and teams who want senior technical and product judgement for a stretch.
