Hi 👋 My name is Martin

As a management consultant, I built an Innovation Agency for a Big4 to 7 figures. I have consulted in nearly every industry, from disruptive Startups to fast-growing Scale-ups, B2C, B2B, and Enterprise SaaS, from The World Bank to Fortune500s, from shaping regulations in the US to implementing agile at a $60Bn revenue corporate, from designing battery tech spin-outs to medical tech IPO pitch decks.

If you are a scaleup CEO with annual revenues over 5 mUSD, feel free to reach out (DM) to discuss:

- Strategy execution
- Increasing margin play through revenueops (e.g. pricing) and cost optimization

I am an Entrepreneur (40%) and Management Consultant (60%).

As an entrepreneur, I run a portfolio of Life-enhancement apps (www.brightday.app), a digitally-driven Innovation Consulting and a stealth-mode climate startup. I do invest (1-2 deals per year) in exceptional early stage AI first and climate tech companies and I share pipeline with top tier VCs.

I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as CEO at Onde!

I left Norway to Poland exactly 2 years ago. "How does it feel in Poland?"

2 years ago I left Big4 in Norway to start my own Strategy Consulting Practice in Poland.

There are many personal reasons behind I will not disclose,

but I did not regret for a second.

Poland is great!

- Safe
- Fairly Modern
- Spotless Clean
- Things work
- Meritocracy & Hard Work
- High level of culture
- Family & Kids first
- Great taxation for entrepreneurs
- Acceptable cost of living
- Soon taking over Japan and UK
- Easy to run a business
- Great developers
- Great weather 50% of the time
- Occassional snow and winter cozyness

And...

My net disposable income after all costs


Skyrocketed 7x!

The only price

- Polish Bluntness
- Missing Norwegian politeness

But it is always better to hear the truth even when it comes uncoated.

I love Poland.

Great Polish People
Hard History
Bright Future

Thanks for accepting me

I will retire in Spain but until then

Let me help as much as I can this Beautiful Country 🇵🇱

Many years ago NEOM called me to be their Innovation Director. Today they are scaling back.

Not only their financial offer was not spectacular and entailed living on a container house in a mega contruction size...

I just did not agree with the Innovation Principles

NEOM was meant to fail as originally planned.

They should have built an MVP

The first module by the sea.

Let the city be born and be experienced

Learn and Adapt

Build module number 2-10

Learn

Module 10-100

Now Saudi Arabia is scaling back NEOM megaproject after review signals strategic reset

Saudi Arabia is preparing to significantly scale back and redesign NEOM, the flagship development chaired by Mohammed bin Salman, as a year-long internal review nears completion.

Officials briefed on the plans said the project is now envisaged as far smaller than originally conceived, reflecting budget overruns, construction delays, and tighter fiscal conditions amid subdued oil prices. NEOM spans Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea coast across an area roughly the size of Belgium.

Key developments
	•	The Line, the project’s central concept, is set to be radically downsized and redesigned.

	•	NEOM may pivot towards becoming a data centre and AI infrastructure hub, leveraging coastal seawater cooling and renewable energy.

	•	The Trojena ski resort has been downsized and will no longer host the 2029 Asian Winter Games.

	•	A broader review of megaprojects is under way under new chief executive Aiman al-Mudaifer.

NEOM, owned by the Public Investment Fund, said it is reprioritising projects to align with national objectives and long-term economic value as Riyadh recalibrates spending ahead of Expo 2030 and the 2034 football World Cup.

LinkedIn has become a pile of scam. Latest trick. 
"I landed 40 meetings following A" > "Send DM for Blueprint" 

AI fake profiles posting viral AI content 
"Irresistible" sales method with Comment "Sales"

AI optimized profiles connecting with you 
promising UHNW and family offices intros.

Link to calendar with another guy.

20 year old guy calendly
Meeting about "Service to land 40 meetings following A"

That is the entire A.

Rinse and Repeat.

The guy is not booking 40 meetings a week

The guy is lying 400 times a week

Sad to see what this platform is becoming

Being a CEO is easy... you only need to do three things:

- Stop doing what is not good for the company

- Use most of that time to do more of what you are already doing great

- Use a bit of time to find new ways that do better than the way you are doing great

I know this seems utterly simplistic and stupid

But read it again.

If you know how most companies operate...

This is really hard

They rarely operate like this

Europe >>> US
Only beats us 6x on entrepreneurship

I got Claude AI to analyze Trump signature as a normal person (at the end how to do it for yourself), and this is the outcome:

Psychological Analysis of This Signature

Legibility & Privacy
The signature is completely illegible, suggesting:

- Strong need for privacy and psychological boundaries
- Desire to maintain mystery or distance
- Protection of personal identity
- Possible distrust or guardedness in relationships

Stroke Characteristics
Extremely erratic, jagged, and chaotic movements indicate:

- High internal tension or anxiety
- Restless mind with racing thoughts
- Potential emotional turbulence
- Nervous energy or agitation
- Possible impulsivity

Pressure & Intensity
The heavy, intense pressure with sharp peaks suggests:

- Strong emotional intensity
- Accumulated stress or inner conflict
- Forceful personality that may feel overwhelmed
- Potential for explosive emotional release

Rhythm & Control
The highly irregular rhythm and lack of fluidity reveal:

- Difficulty with emotional regulation
- Inner chaos or lack of peace
- Scattered focus or attention
- Resistance to conformity or structure

Vertical Emphasis
The prominent upward spikes indicate:

- Spiritual or intellectual aspirations
- Idealism or high ambitions
- Possible disconnection from practical reality
- Tension between desires and circumstances

Angularity
The extreme angularity throughout suggests:

- Defensive posture
- Critical or analytical mindset taken to extremes
- Potential aggression or confrontational tendencies
- Mental sharpness but possibly directed defensively

Baseline & Stability
The unstable, fluctuating baseline reveals:

- Emotional instability or mood variability
- Inconsistent energy levels
- Difficulty maintaining equilibrium
- Possible stress or burnout

Overall Impression

This signature belongs to someone experiencing significant internal conflict, stress, or emotional turbulence. 

The writer appears highly intelligent and intense but may be struggling with anxiety, overwhelming emotions, or feeling psychologically under siege. 

There's a strong protective barrier around their identity, suggesting either past wounds or current vulnerability they're defending against. T

his person may benefit from stress management techniques, creative outlets for their intense energy, or professional support to process their inner experiences.

I am an enthusiastic person with a passion for innovation, networking and human connections.  I'm drawn to working with people who thrive in the same direction as me (which is forward) but with opposite backgrounds and approaches. As a person, I am very curious. I am inspired and motivated by working with topics like diversity,  which has also meant that I have chosen to stay and work in different parts of the world.  My key skills are innovative thinking, human relations/coaching, storytelling and network building. I am a  consultant, speaker and workshop facilitator , and have a knack for helping people solve their problems, and to find new solutions.
