Before that, I was supporting Icelandic startup companies with access to international funding via the Funderbeam investment platform in the Nordics. I am also investing in climate-changing green impact companies at EIFO (Denmark’s Export and Investment Fund) and advise the Icelandic Ministry of Innovation on building a sustainable venture funding platform in Iceland.

Completing a business MSc and then running a modelling agency in the early 2000s was my way of figuring out what exactly I wanted to do. Making my way up through consultancy & politics shone a light on the realities of the working environment for women. The disservice done to women in the professional sphere has always been an injustice. That’s when I decided to turn a feeling into an action. Being recognised for the things you are passionate about truly do propel you towards where you want to be. Today, with the support of the women who have inspired me along my journey, I’ve honed in my focus on DE&I and in turn have founded Empower.

It was during this academic research where the seeds of Treble were sown. I gained several years of experience prior to starting Treble, working as an acoustics and software engineer.
