Eva Jarlsdotter was born in the countryside in Sweden. She began her career as a journalist. After almost a decade in journalism, she left to work internationally in leadership roles in business. She has held positions in communications, corporate social responsibility and branding in the telecom and pharmaceutical industries. In the summer of 2011 she resigned from her position as vice president in an international telecom company to complete the fiction trilogy she had been working on since her oldest daughter was born. She currently works as an author, advisor and speaker. Eva holds a degree in journalism from the University of Gothenburg and an executive MBA from the Stockholm School of Economics. She lives with her husband and their three children in an old house with an apple orchard in Stockholm.
She dreams of one day finishing the trilogy, growing enough vegetables and fruits to be self-sufficient and she genuinely hopes and believes (she is an athlete in optimism) that this generation of ours will end poverty and stop the climate change. To do this we have to start with the organization that we can impact the most - our homes. That is why she try to inspire around lean@home concept. To make an impact.
Eva is regarded as the pioneer of the concept lean@home and she receives feedback every day from readers who have been inspired by her bestselling book 'From Frustration to Flow with lean@home'.
