I'm a technology enthusiast and builder based between Norway and Brazil. For more than two decades, I've been building companies and digital services while working across continents with organisations that range from national broadcasters to public health institutions and global flower delivery.
I serve as CTO at 99x, a global technology group with 650+ professionals across Norway, Sweden, Sri Lanka, Portugal, Brazil, and Malaysia. We help ambitious companies build and scale digital products like web platforms, e-commerce solutions to AI-powered workflows.
My day-to-day involves making technology recommendations that affect real users at scale.
I'm deeply involved in how our teams apply AI in practice, and I regularly write and speak about our experience building with AI.
I co-founded Fujikawa together with my wife, Cynthia Fujikawa Nes. Through Fujikawa, we've built data-driven media assets for the B2B market since 2008.
Most active at the moment is Venueful, a global service that curates information about business venues to simplify organising corporate events around the world.
Earlier in my career, I started Webdeal, a Norwegian hosting company, and spent several years as a writer and contributor at Hardware.no now known as Tek.no.
I organise a technology conference called LoveConf, built around sharing the love for technology. Not sales pitches or coding demos, but the real stories behind technology in practice.
The format is intimate and deliberate: a handful of carefully selected speakers, plenty of time for networking, and a venue that encourages real conversation.
I speak Norwegian natively, English professionally, and Portuguese at a working level. My career has taken me across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and the Americas, and that cross-cultural perspective shapes how I think about products, markets, and teams.
I'm an enthusiastic amateur photographer. When I can get away, I travel to Africa to go off the grid and photograph wildlife, it's the only reset I know.
