Senior🎓
Top SchoolThomas Sjølshagen is a product leader with 10+ years of experience translating complex technical challenges into clear product requirements and scalable data platform capabilities. He has led product teams at scale—most recently guiding core data modeling, storage, and ingestion services at Cognite where he drove multi-cloud time series growth to 77 trillion data points and oversaw a 134% YoY expansion of an industrial knowledge graph. Comfortable toggling between hands-on technical work and strategic leadership, Thomas has shipped infrastructure and installer tooling at NetApp SolidFire, contributed backend fixes to the popular open-source Paid Memberships Pro WordPress project, and coached small businesses on cloud and software strategy. Now based in Oslo, he’s building Telenor’s new Data Platform after shaping product direction for high-impact enterprise programs and partner co-development deals. Known for combining rigorous technical pragmatism with measurable business outcomes, he often surfaces non-obvious operational levers—like CI/CD and migration strategies—that unlock scale.
