Who am I?
I was born and raised in the hospitality business with parents working as chefs in Norway and abroad. When they returned to Norway we moved to Furnes just outside Hamar where my parents (Food&Beverage) together with Ola Gundersen (Hotel Director) and the Olrud family planned and built Olrud Hotel(one of the biggest conference hotels in Norway) now Rica Hamar. So during years I could see the hotel and the service area getting built and finaly opened. When it opened the doors I was 6 years. I could experience all different parts of the business and since then I had it in my blood!
After this my parents have opened and managed several establishments and I was involved in many of them. In the early 90´s we started a company Viking Sport Hotels AS, we worked with Arthur Buchardt and The Carlson Group (Radisson) among others in developing hotels for the winter olympics in Lillehammer 94.
The last thing I did in Norway before moving to Russia was Millers American Bar & Restaurant in Oslo. It was a realy good time with Janne and Espen! Here I took care of the guests and made sure that they had a good time. This was the year that they started with import beer and at Millers we had a lot of the release parties. I was responsable for San Miguel, Red Stripe, Rolling Rock and many more parties!
Next stop was Russia and Rogers Bar in Murmansk, then Ibiza (Mississippi, Rogers Planet and Red&Hot American Bar&Restaurant) Then I moved to the mainland Spain where I in 2003 opened Chupa Libre in El Campello.
After that I have been working more as a Hospitality Consultant using my knowledge in helping others!
I also work as a Hospitality recruiter helping bars and restaurants to get the staff they need.
My last client was Lotus Taste in Bodø where I was helping with staff, HMS and more.
