Sigve Pettersen is an entrepreneurial technology strategist and product leader with nine years of experience building digital solutions for the built environment, from founding startups to shaping international standards for BIM-GIS interoperability. Based in Oslo, he has led product and innovation programs at buildingSMART and co-founded Fremby and Rendra, marrying hands-on technical work (IFC, bSDD, linked data) with business development and go-to-market execution. He currently splits his time between running Skogli gård—where he experiments with tech while producing lumber—and steering Fremby as CPO and chairperson, aiming to make construction data-driven and sustainable. Sigve’s background spans deep learning and computer vision studies, practical Python/IFC tooling, and leadership in standards committees (ISO/CEN), a mix that makes him equally at home prototyping proofs-of-concept and negotiating cross-industry consensus. An uncommon detail: he combines field-level woodworking and farm-based tinkering with high-level semantic modeling, giving him rare practical insight into real-world construction workflows.
