I'm Co-founder and CEO at Kiattua. Open for just four months of the year, from the time of the midnight sun to the spectacle of the aurora borealis, you will find six, state-of-the-art sleeping tipis all looking toward the horizon. A two-day walk from the nearest village, Kiattua is immersed in origin. In its new incarnation, as we redefine off-grid luxury while honoring the past.
With a background as E-sales manager and within online marketing, my main task is to bring focus towards our little company at the remote, wild and untouched Greenland.
My family and I live in the Arctic wilderness all summer, and whenever I have a bit of spare time I often go hunting for reindeer, hand fishing for the Arctic char, or simply spending time hiking. My family and I love to travel and in 2019 my husband and I quit our jobs and took the kid out of school to spend one year together traveling around the world. Our favorite part was three months on the Jordan Trail.
We want to change the world one mind at a time. And we created Kiattua to attract the most influential minds to make the biggest impact possible.
We recently learned that one of our guest decided to change all the company's cars to electricity as a direct consequence of what he saw and what we talked about in Kiattua. We are talking about 4.000 cars - which in total reduces the carbon emission with 8.000 tons per, 10000 miles. I am super proud about that.
This summer I was the skipper on the boat that helped the extreme swimmer Lewis Pugh to cross the Ilulissat Icefiord, to highlight what is happening in the Arctic and in our vulnerable ecosystems around the globe.
In Greenland, we can feel that the interest to be immersed in nature is growing - visitors from around the world are no longer just coming to observe the nature in distance, but prefers to be in it, and to feel the silence when you are in connection with nature.
During the last 5 year I have seen an increase in women in traditional male jobs, as CEO's, wilderness guides, hunting guides, dogsled guides, skippers and decks men. And often we are doing even better. ;-D

I own my world - that makes everything a lot easier :-)
Boys are told to be strong and girls to be cute. This lie is a heavy burden for both. One has to be more than he is and another less than she is.
"Fake it to you make it" and "better done than perfect"
Our brains are hot wired for true governance, which is the combination of logic and compassion. We are born to be the leaders of tomorrow.
