There’s a saying that people come to our lives for a reason, a season or a lifetime. It’s my time to move on. I have been fortunate to have the amazing people at Nordkapp in my life for last year and four months. It’s mind boggling to think how far we have come with the company.
Nordkapp is on clear trajectory of growth and past the stage where it was a mere agency and currently leaving many companies in the dust that were not so long ago thought of as industry leaders. We worked hard to crystallize the focus, decide what market we are really in and educate the customer to see what we saw. Now it’s all executing to scale and making sure the organization can keep up with the growth. It’s not an easy job to be on the bleeding edge, but I have all the faith in the team I leave behind to hold the fort. Even though it was only a season I worked at Nordkapp, I believe they will be with me for a lifetime. Thanks guys!
What’s next? It’s time for me to spend my days with what I have used to do all my evenings and nights. The Nordic and Baltic startup scenes have come of age and we are determined to make sure ArcticStartup will evolve and ride the wave with the same determination we caught the wave to begin with almost two years ago. There’s much to do, not enough resources, too little time, and it’s coming 3000 km/h at us, but we are loving every moment of it.
I reiterate my friend who quoted Hugh MacLeod: ‘The Hunger will give you everything. And it will take from you, everything. It will cost you your life, and there’s not a damn thing you can do about it. But knowing this, of course, is what ultimately sets you free.’
I believe this quote sets the pace for me for some time to come.
