Anna has been part of the cluster team since 2023, first as an intern and later in a part-time role alongside her Master’s studies. After completing her Master’s degree in Innovation and Leadership at Western Norway University of Applied Sciences in 2025, she stepped into a full-time position in Finance Innovation. She has an academic background in political science and psychology, and wrote her Master’s thesis on how AI-generated solutions can support fraud detection in banking.

Anna works as a Consultant with a broad range of responsibilities across events, community building and strategic cluster initiatives. She’s our go-to person for all things related to Norway Fintech Festival – from big-picture planning to nitty-gritty logistics – and makes sure the fintech crowd has a space to meet, connect and be inspired.

Anna also leads the cluster’s work on sustainability and digital inclusion. Whether it's facilitating our resource group on green innovation or pushing forward initiatives to make fintech more accessible, she brings people together and gets things moving.

With a curious mindset, a hands-on attitude and a real passion for building community, Anna is someone who sees possibilities where others see obstacles. She combines structure with energy, and isn’t afraid to take the lead when something needs to get done.
