Co-Founder, SIME Non-Profit

Therese Engstrom is the co-founder and the executive director of the Non-Profit initiative by SIME, a digital top-level knowledge sharing summit held in Stockholm, focusing on how digital channels, IT technology and social media can be used to improve the world.

Therese Engström has many years’ of international experience working with communication, marketing and events both from the non-profit and in the business sector in Stockholm, Paris, New York, London, Geneva and on-field in Africa for various non profit organizations such as the International Red Cross (www.ifrc.org) with emergency operations and the ICT organisation Lifeline (www.lifelineenergy.org) with a focus on the access to information and energy for vulnerable populations.
