Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolPetter Bjelland is a pragmatic technology leader and Co-Founder & CTO based in Oslo with 13 years of experience spanning software engineering, cybercrime analysis, forensic technology and business development. He blends hands-on engineering roots from the Norwegian Armed Forces with investigative rigor developed at Kripos and EY, bringing a security-first mindset to product and platform design. At Palantir he bridged technical capabilities and commercial outcomes, a skill he now applies to scaling Convier’s technology and go-to-market execution. His academic background (MSc in Information Security, BSc in Informatics) underpins a strong focus on secure, auditable systems and threat-informed architecture. Colleagues describe him as equally comfortable discussing low-level technical tradeoffs and steering strategic roadmaps, making him effective at translating complex requirements into operational products. An entrepreneurial operator, he combines forensic discipline with a founder’s willingness to iterate quickly under uncertainty.
