Our Human
Asset

Marie’s impressive business career includes positions as Managing Director within large international corporations such as Oriflame and Bong, both listed on the Stockholm stock exchange. Within the tourism sector she has worked with a number of large international hotel chains including SAS, Radisson, Stena and World of Golf. Public sector positions include Marketing Director for the Municipality of Helsingborg, and the Managing Director of the Tourism Destination Company Visit Helsingborg.

Her unique and authentic leadership received early recognition, and she has throughout the years received appointments such as Future Leader by the Junior National Chamber of Commerce, and Managing Director of the Year by Oriflame. In 2016, she was awarded Female Entrepreneur of the Year by the industry association Direct Selling Sweden.

One of the keys to Marie’s success is that she has always acknowledged people and recognized that human asset is paramount. Lacking prestige, she rolls up her sleeves to understand every nook and cranny of a company, and gets to know people at every level. She always speaks her truth and follows her instincts.

Her roots in the deep forests of Värmland in Northern Sweden taught her to achieve greatness with ease and a smile, and her pride of her heritage runs through her veins to this day. Despite her career success, Marie’s greatest achievement as of yet is choosing a life together with her soulmate Flamur, who introduced her to their second home – Albania. This rich intercultural journey has added new dimensions, depth and opportunities to her star-studded life and career.

Marie’s greatest assets are her energy, openness, bravery and heart. With these values, success grows. A mantra she lives by is: Give and you will receive.
