Vision & Execution
I've always been fascinated by a simple question:
What helps people stay healthy in the first place?
That curiosity led me from dentistry to yoga therapy, public health, mental health research, and eventually across Europe, where I spent several years living in Scandinavia and learning a different way of looking at food and everyday life.
I returned to India, to start Lagom Næring with gourmet bowls. Seed crackers were simply one component of those bowls. But something unexpected happened, people kept asking if they could buy the seed crackers on their own. That curiosity from customers became the beginning of our first product.
Today, Lagom Næring brings together everything I've learned from science, research, nutrition and Scandinavian living to make healthier choices more practical, enjoyable and sustainable.
For me, preventive health isn't about perfection. It's about creating everyday habits that people can genuinely enjoy and continue for years.

Operations & Partnerships
Growing up in Sweden with a mother who loved cooking, father who was a doctor, I learned to appreciate home-cooked meals, an active lifestyle, and the belief that good health is built through everyday habits. Throughout my career in technology and business leadership, my interest in nutrition and healthy living never disappeared. I've always enjoyed exploring the latest research on nutrition, healthy ageing and longevity not as a trend, but as a way of life.
When I moved to Bangalore, I wasn't looking to build another corporate career. I was looking for something meaningful.
Through a chance conversation between our husbands, I met Dhanalakshmi. We quickly realised that although we came from different backgrounds, we shared remarkably similar ideas about food, health and prevention.
We both believed that healthy food should be nutritious, delicious and practical enough to become part of everyday life. That shared belief became the beginning of our collaboration.
Today, I help build the operational foundation of Lagom Næring, bringing together Scandinavian values, scientific thinking and uncompromising quality as we shape the company's early years.

Research & Product Development
For me, good food begins long before it reaches the table.
I grew up in Germany and from the very young age I enjoyed baking, cooking and gardening, I've always been fascinated by how ingredients, science and tradition come together to create food that nourishes both body and mind. My work at Lagom Næring focuses on developing products that are rooted in evidence while remaining enjoyable to eat every day.
I believe healthy food should never feel like a compromise, it should be both nutritious and deeply satisfying.

Finance, Technology & Strategy
For me, good food begins long before it reaches the table.
Numbers may be my profession, but curiosity has always been my compass.
As a mechanical engineer working in the semiconductor industry in the Netherlands, I've always enjoyed solving problems with structure, precision and long-term thinking. At Lagom Næring, I bring the same approach to building a business that is sustainable, thoughtful and built to last.
Beyond work, I enjoy travelling, discovering new places and appreciating different cultures through food. I believe a meaningful life is one where work and exploration exist in balance.
