Why this program

What changes
after Karl.

Karl’s mentorship gave us a great value at an early stage of our startup. Having scheduled sessions created a deadline that allowed us to move forward faster. Karl also worked as a kind of compass which made us focus on the right things all the time. It saved us lots of time.
Anton NewittFounder
Karl has a truly unique way of asking questions that made me think of my life and career choices in a completely different way. He put me on the path to reach my “career happiness” and 1 year later I have achieved just that!
Anna Sofie Riise CarlqvistNextory
His efficiency, clear understanding of what’s needed, client focus, broad range of skills and experience… is truly refreshing and inspiring.
Werner KrugerHead of Data Science, Klarna
Karl has an incredible positive energy that will make you believe in yourself and your abilities to do wonders. He inspired us to dare to test multiple paths, which led to faster results and more efficient long-term growth.

Questions

Good to
know.

Who is the program for?

CEOs, founders, executives and senior leaders who carry real decisions about AI, innovation and growth, and want a sparring partner who has built companies himself.

Can I buy single sessions?

No. Real change takes rhythm and accountability, so the program is only offered as the full 20 session package.

How long does it take?

Most participants meet every two weeks, which means about ten months. A faster weekly pace is possible.

Can my company pay?

Yes. Most programs are paid by the participant’s company as executive development. You receive an agreement and invoice from Karl’s company.

Is it confidential?

Yes. Everything shared in the sessions stays between you and Karl, and an NDA can be signed before the first session.

How do I get started?
