United States

I lead the production of tours and events for Draken Harald Hårfagre, the world’s largest Viking ship and a global ambassador for ocean science and innovation. Notable highlights include the U.S. East Coast Tour in 2018 with 16 stopovers, 100,000 visitors, and a $2.5 million budget. I also co-produced the TV series "Viking Quest - Expedition America," sold to 16 countries. The New Yorker named New York City's "Expedition America 2016" the "Culture Event of the Year." Additionally, Kåre Aase, Norway’s ambassador to the U.S., called it “the best Norway promotion event in the US ever.”

Produced tours and events around the world with The Swedish Ship Götheborg (www.soic.se). 93 stopovers in 22 different countries.
