I am a strategic midfield player and I am a professional in the passenger shipping industry. At the same time I write books and can also be hired as a private consultant and motivator for any of your needs within marketing and public relations.
I started my career as CEO for a bus company in West Africa when I was 23 years old. Later I added higher education in management, marketing and economics.
The last past years I have been working to launch the worlds smallest cruise line where you can travel a few hours or some days. Spring 2011 public national TV channel NRK launched a serie with the vessel sailing from Bergen to the Fjords with me as the captain. My passengers are entrepreneurial skiers going to see the fjords where they experience the charm of the vessel and the high mountains. The program is somehow related to Top Gear and Norwegian nature program der ein ikkje trudde nokon kunne bu.
The program became popular with a market share between 40 and 50% and will also be shown om swedish and finnish national TV, and more programs will follow. You can see a trailer under “oppdrag sognefjorden”.
A combination of “Der ein ikkje trudde nokon kunne bu” og “Top Gear”.
