About Me

me_100x100.jpgThe StrategyHack blog is a poorly maintained collection or random musings and rants of Vidar Brekke, a native Norwegian who as a younger man looked west; came, saw and conquered settled in New York City. (OK, I live in NJ…).

I currently work for Linkstorm as VP of Marketing. (The opinions expressed here are my own and do not necessarily represent those of my company, blah, blah, blah.)

Previously I’ve held positions such as Strategic Planner with Ogilvy and Vice President of Marketing with JPMorganChase, both in New York. I’ve also had my stints at various startups, including my own ventures.

My professional interests are in the technology, marketing and social media space.

My hobbies and personal interests include photography, electronic music recording, and last but not least, ensuring the safety and happiness of my wonderful 2 year old daughter. (And continuing to provide my wife with the lifestyle of which she has become accustomed :-) )
