This is some text inside of a div block.

Social scientist specialized in measurement methods. Spent (too) many years at fancy schools like Yale, Harvard and Oxford finding innovative ways to measure difficult to quantify outcomes, at times in partnership with institutions like the UN. Loves the process of honest problem-solving with founders. Happiest at a live concert or in the mountains (bonus points if these mountains are in Norway).
