All Ears
2023 – Today
Founder & Board Director


As a strategic advisor, I'm guiding the company's vision and future direction. Recently ran our recruitment process for a new Chief Executive Officer.



2016 – 2022
Founder & CEO

All Ears is the world leader in AI driven spoken media monitoring. I led the company for its first six years. From idea to a robust business.


All Ears was dubbed a »Rising Star 2023« and listed among the »Hottest Swedish AI startups« by Breakit.


As a B2B SaaS, trusted by almost a thousand customers, many of them Fortune 500's (such as Hertz & Pfizer), All Ears has achieved an annual recurring revenue of €4 million with an yearly growth rate of 2-3x.

All Ears has raised several million euros in investment, through various rounds, including the Series A led by Bonnier Capital and Alfvén & Didrikson, as well as prominent angel investors from Spotify and Cision.


I personally closed the company's first customers in Sweden and U.S. and opened our presence in New York City, securing major clients such as Walmart and Weber Shandwick.


Through my efforts, I built a strong sales, product, and customer success team, recruiting well over a hundred new team members in total. Meanwhile, voluntary employee churn stayed at levels close to zero.
