  7. Various roles within brewing and hospitality

    July 2012 - 2019

    📍 Oslo - London (UK)

    A year after I finished my university I decided to move out of my comfort zone and I moved to London, UK, where I worked for several years. I worked in hospitality both as a bartender and as a manager (I even helped opening and organizing Gipsy Hill's Brewery's Taproom in the heart of London), lead teams of 10+ people in a very fast-paced and stressful environment as working in the center of a big city with people of all sorts. Thanks to my network and contacts I got a job for Amundsen Bryggeri in Oslo, which led me to move to Norway and start anew, and since I'm always willing to learn I embraced the change and new opportunities to grow.
