Coffee is a passion of mine. Oslo Kaffebar is a cafe I set up in 2012 to focus on very high quality coffee in a comfortable environment. Oslo mixes Berlin urban chic and Norwegian weekend cabin -- and has, over the years, been highly regarded in Berlin for quality coffee. Along the way we also expanded into creating Kaschk, the first craft beer and table shuffleboard bar in Berlin, a cafe at the Nordic embassies called Oslo Embassies, and R/D, a cafe with the creators of Silicon Allee.

Oversaw product at Pamono, a design furniture marketplace backed by Holtzbrinck Ventures, Gruner & Jahr, DN Capital, Ringier Digital Ventures, and Atlantic Internet.
