Karl Oskar Teien

Steering Board Member

Schibsted
Director of Product and UX at Schibsted's Subscription Newspapers in Norway and Sweden, where we build the digital product experience of Scandinavia's most trusted publishers. I'm also part of Aftenposten's executive team, where I represent the Product, Design, and Tech departments. I have worked on a wide range of products and services, both in established organizations like Schibsted and Vipps, and in my own impact startup, Pulse – a mobile savings product for unbanked families in India that took us to the finals of Hult Prize at Clinton Global Initiative, the world’s largest social business competition. I'm passionate about solving problems that matter, through thoughtful application of design and technology. My educational background is in Development Economics and Entrepreneurship spanning across Canada, Spain, South Africa, and USA.
