I have been in the IT-industry since 1999 when I got my first job as a developer fresh out of school. I liked coding but after about ten years, it felt like I kept solving the same problem over and over again. I was bored. I found testing - and the intellectual challenge I needed. 

 Since then I have worked in most testing-related roles, everything from being the only tester in a team to designing, building and leading testing organizations. 

 I believe continuous improvement is something we should all strive for by keeping up to date and always challenge ourselves, our assumptions and the way things are done. 

 A few years back I realized that coaching and mentoring people, aka developing people, was just as interesting as developing software so since 2017 I have focused on management roles. As a complement to that, I am an avid blogger, speaker and workshop facilitator.

 I live outside of Stockholm with my family, in a big house filled with gaming stuff, books and sewing things.
