Founder & CEOControl plane · Insurance infrastructure

Building the control plane and insurance infrastructure for the agentic economy.

Aurem is building the control plane and insurance infrastructure for the agentic economy: an independent authority layer designed to help enterprises scale AI agents without surrendering control over cost, capital, or consequence.

Every agent receives a versioned Agent Passport defining identity, tools, data access, token and runtime budgets, financial authority, and human approval rules. Aurem reserves authority before model and tool operations, enforces runtime ceilings, and blocks or escalates policy exceptions.

Its tamper-evident evidence recorder reconstructs decisions and outcomes for accountable, auditable operations. The product direction is to support fleets scaling toward millions of agents, consequential enterprise actions such as SAP workflows, token-spend optimization, loop prevention, and evidence that can support future insurability.

My role: I lead product, engineering, and commercial direction across Agent Passports, runtime authority, the control-room experience, enterprise deployment architecture, tamper-evident evidence, and the product path toward insurability.

01 / Founder companyFounder-led

Aurem Group

Control-plane, runtime-authority, and evidence infrastructure for accountable enterprise AI agents.

Problem
As enterprises scale autonomous agents across tools, data, budgets, and financial systems, they need enforceable authority before action and reconstructable evidence after it.

Exact contribution

  • Founded Aurem and defined the control-plane and insurance-infrastructure thesis.
  • Built Agent Passports and runtime controls spanning identity, tools, data access, token and runtime budgets, financial authority, approvals, and exception handling.
  • Built the platform, public control-room experience, enterprise deployment architecture, and tamper-evident evidence flow for evaluation and incident reconstruction.
  • TypeScript
  • React
  • Three.js
  • PostgreSQL
  • Google Cloud

Talenomix

Executive-search intelligence that turns hiring briefs into clear, evidence-backed search plans.

Problem
Executive-search teams need to assemble the client brief, firm knowledge, and trusted market evidence before consultants can approve a search plan.

Exact contribution

  • Defined the mandate-intelligence product, evidence model, and consultant-led decision boundary.
  • Built the bilingual static experience and synthetic product demo.
  • Encoded source verification, accessibility, and a no-personal-data demo boundary into CI.

Real estate

Residential stewardship

Ownership beyond software.

Alongside company building and two degree tracks, I am involved in residential real estate as the sole owner of a Swedish bostadsrätt.

Property ownership brings a different operating responsibility: long-term stewardship, administration, risk, and practical decision-making.
