Ole Bent grew up among the mountains of Norway's wild and beautiful West Coast.
As a young man from Norway, I set out to explore the world, curious about "what lay beyond our mountains, waterfalls, and glaciers."
Years later, in meeting rooms across Europe, Silicon Valley and the U.S., and throughout Asia, "I realized I was still that same adventurer—only now the landscapes were human cultures."
That curiosity has fueled everything from closing deals worth hundreds of millions of dollars to "my passion for mentoring leaders today."
