I take on very few projects. I say yes when I see the potential to build something that endures.

Utheim & Co is led by Håvard Utheim, entrepreneur, storyteller and concept developer with 25 years of experience in media, technology, travel, adventure and sustainability.
Håvard holds a master’s degree and two bachelor’s degrees in communication from NTNU – Norwegian University of Science and Technology, with additional lessons his education include entrepreneurship, media, theatre, communication, journalism, linguistics, pedagogy, psychology, architecture, tourism, philosophy, ethics and sustainability.
As a master’s student, he co-founded a company that monitored global media to provide security alerts for travelers. Since then, he has been an active part of the Nordic tech and startup community, with his own companies and as a consultant.
Håvard has taken the stage more than 500 times in professional settings, in business contexts as a keynote speaker, moderator, panelist and conference host, and as a stand-up comedian, mc or toasmaster etc. After an accidental debut in 2001, evenings and weekends for the next ten years were spent on comedy stages across Norway and Sweden, including over a hundred corporate events for clients such as Shell, the Armed Forces, BI, TINE, Avinor, DNB and NTNU, before shifting his focus to entrepreneurship and family life.
Now you can hire him as a knowledgeable and entertaining sparring partner, keynote speaker or consultant to challenge ideas and create future-ready strategies.
