Michelsen Institute across three continents, with a primary focus on Africa. After two years at the World Bank in Washington DC, she returned to Norway and worked on policy reforms for the EU and OECD. A postdoctoral position in criminal law at the University of Bergen, focused on the enforcement of corporate liability in bribery cases, led her into academia, and in 2015 she joined NHH, where she was promoted to professor in 2017.
