Long bio
I have built networks, software and companies in Iceland and abroad since 1992, when I founded Network Communications in Keflavík, the first independent internet service provider in Iceland.
I spent twelve years working abroad, in London, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Ottawa and Bath. I worked as a network consultant for NCR, ran my own consultancy, and was a sales engineer and systems engineer for policy control vendors. I then spent eight years as Director of Product Management at Amdocs, where I represented the company at ETSI and was rapporteur for the NFV work item on VNF packaging.
In 2015 I joined Nanitor as a co-founder, and I have served as its COO and CEO. Nanitor builds Continuous Threat Exposure Management software for organisations in Europe and the Middle East. Alongside it I own and run Eldvarnir, a fire protection company my father founded in 1976. I live in Reykjanesbær.
