Emil Grimsgaard
Commercial Strategy Lead
My heart beats for development projects, and I love turning technology into business—always with people at the center, no matter where I am in the process.
A little more about me:
I have a strong commercial background from previous roles, including as Marketing Manager for an e-commerce business with 80,000+ transactions annually.
A good workday:
To me, a good workday means a packed calendar with lots of happy people and curious conversations, surrounded by a relaxed culture where laughter comes easily. If the projects are challenging, that is an added bonus.
