I am an experienced project- and partnerships manager, with a PhD in sustainability management accounting. My research is focused on sustainability performance management in collaborative initiatives and co-production of accounts.

Over the last 7 years, I have supported and managed partnerships and collaborative projects in various settings (Danish Refugee Council, CBS, Københavns Kommune). Currently I manage international research projects in the National Center for Climate Research, where I am responsible for timely execution of the projects as well as dissemination of research results.

My key professional and research interests are:

  • Sustainability performance management
  • Circular economy
  • Public sector accounting
  • Social and environmental accounting
  • Co-design, co-production and co-creation practices
