I’ve been with the firm for more than seventeen years and what has been consistent throughout those years has been a close collaboration with clients to help them achieve their goals. I’ve helped some of the largest businesses in the Nordics adapt to a changing world by introducing new technologies or improving the usage of existing ones. I look back and feel proud about playing an important part in the success of our clients.

Besides the delivery aspect Accenture has a very strong internal community with groups of interests as diverse as games, art, dance and all sorts of sports which I’ve personally enjoyed having participated in over the years.
