I was born in Denmark in 1986 and considered a creative full-time career right up until I ended trying out a Finance Trainee position in 2005 during a post high school sabbatical year in London. This pivoted me toward pursuing a university Master's degree in  Economics and Business Administration with focus on Finance and Accounting, which I completed in 2011 from Copenhagen Business School. After that, I have tried all kinds of jobs withing Corporate Finance, ranging from helping on government decisions to invest in international space satellites to strategic analyses in a conglomerate with mergers & acquisitions to working with finance of tier one TV and movie productions. In my spare time, I continued to dabble with entrepreneurial adventures, and creative endeavors such as writing: Burning Bright marks my debut as a published author. That particular novel has been written mostly on select Sunday afternoons across almost 20 years, purely as one of many passion and hobby projects. I hope to inspire others to harness spare time and slowly build a passion project - if not for an additional source of income then for the thrill of the chase and learning along the way!

Publishing brand

The books (to be) written are being published under my publishing company Scintelum Press (Est. 2024).

Scintelum comes from a fusion of the Latin scintilla (fragment) and telum (arrow).

The fractured arrowhead here represents the remnants of the past, piercing their way through present and future; a reminder not to forget the past in order to avoid repeating it.
