I was brought up in a stable and loving family in Sweden. But when I was 15, I lived in China for 1 year where experienced first-hand just how fortunate I’d been. This was when I began to think deeply about big questions about our socioeconomic system, the foundations of prosperity and alternative financial systems.
Eventually, this led me to a long academic journey that culminated in me graduating with a masters in economics from the University of Oxford. But seeing the vast landscape of suffering, injustice and cheating enabled by an opaque and unfair system and the potential of what could be if things were done differently, I rejected both the PhD and the corporate 9-5 route. I decided to launch a charity.
