Built on 55 years of combined experience — and two questions that changed everything
KJERSTI S. KRISTENSEN
With more than 25 years of experience across international corporations and start-ups, Kjersti has spent her career at the intersection of governance, risk, and compliance — work that has increasingly led her toward questions of performance, ESG, and how organisations actually function as living systems. She holds an Executive MBA and a degree in international management, and is a certified Connection Practice coach trained in emotionally safe communication and relational mentoring. She is also pursuing a Regenerative Leadership Certification, extending this foundation into systemic and regenerative practice.
Fluent in five languages and shaped by years of working across cultures, she brings a global perspective to leadership and human capacity development.
She is the co-creator of the Ignited Model.

He has supported executive teams through complex change and holds a BSc in Computation and Executive MBA courses.
