Presentation

I am a Ph.D. Fellow at CBS, Department of Digitalization, with deep theoretical knowledge in collaborative strategy and strategizing in a networked economy.

My current research investigates the changing nature of value co-creation relations in the digital age – specifically in the context of digital offerings, which are understood as artifacts linking co-creators in Value Creating Systems. Conceiving value creation as a dynamic outcome of interactions among multiple actors implies that future digital strategizing will take place - not within - but across interconnected organizations, thereby opening up a new set of opportunity spaces. The empirical setting of this research is constituted by my industrial partner - the Danish Chamber of Commerce, along with their collaborators and business members.

My CBS teaching docket includes the following courses:
(1) Digital Strategy
(2) E-Commerce Strategies and Practices: A Global Perspective
(3) Digital Transformation of Business - Designed for Digital
(4) Business Model and Value Chains in the Digital Economy

With a BSc and MSc in International Business, and 10 years of international experience, including 6 years stationed in Germany and Kenya, I have excelled in roles such as export coordinator, international project coordinator, international business advisor, board member, and entrepreneur. I have honed skills in partner profiling, partner identification, partner matchmaking, partner financing, partner training, and partner conflict mediation. Most recently, I served as Internationalization Adviser at Zealand Business Hub, linking The Trade Council with SMEs in Region Zealand, gaining unique functional resources and a worldwide specialist network on international partnering.

By bridging practice and theory, I combine my hands-on understanding of international partnerships with cutting-edge research on collaborative strategies in digital arenas. This unique skill set enables me to engage effectively with students and practitioners alike to foster collaborative strategies for success in new business ecosystems.
