Hi, I’m Stine [STEE-neh], I'm currently the Chief Product Officer at Polaroid, where I’m trying to figure out what is next for this iconic brand. I’ve just moved to Amsterdam after 10+ years in the States where I just finished renovating a brownstone in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn. I spent the last 15+ years in product, marketing, strategy, editorial and leadership roles at Apple, The New York Times, and Spotify. For me, work has always been about seeing around corners, and building new things and teams. I was the first-ever hire on Spotify's special projects “black ops” team, I helped lead the App Store's first-ever product reimagination, and I founded the first-ever marketing team embedded in The New York Times's newsroom. It has been a wild ride.

I believe the world doesn’t change without a little bit of trouble.


I am also the Co-Founder Trouble Inc, A work-in-progress initiative to encourage non-conformity in the modern workplace and I run a coaching program called Talk Work To Me.

I’m from Sweden and Norway but I’ve lived in a lot of places; Scotland, London, Washington, D.C., Copenhagen, Luxembourg, San Francisco, New York City. Now I’m in Amsterdam. I foster dogs in my spare time, I listen to NPR like all the time, oh and I hike really fast. 

But also,
        how
            are
                you?

Talk work to me.

 


A free 30 min 1:1 workshop for anyone feeling under-networked, under-mentored, or under-sponsored.


Are you newish to product, technology or media? From a different culture? A first-time manager? Starting your career outside of NYC, SF, LA or London? Or just feeling like your way of thinking and working is different from those around you? Even if only one of these apply, I want to help. I’ve been where you are. I’ve struggled with all of the above.

More info here.

Office hours are shifting as I move country but will be right back. 

You can book a session here.
