Drive strategic growth. Build global partnerships. Leave your mark.

Big Impact. Norwegian Roots. Global Ambition.

At Attensi, we’re not just building software, we’re creating a global movement to revolutionize how people acquire skills.

Born in Norway and founded by serial entrepreneurs Trond Aas and Odd Skarheim, Attensi is defining a new category - combining game mechanics, behavioral psychology, and enterprise impact in a way the world has never seen before.

With clients like Starbucks, PwC, Panera, and Coca-Cola, and a platform already active in 150+ countries and 50+ languages, we’re making a huge impact at a global scale. But the best part? This is just the beginning.

If you’re hungry to be part of a once-in-a-generation scale-up story, this is your moment. Come help us build the next global tech unicorn.

Our Commercial DNA

Our team is made up of elite performers - former founders, ex-consultants and ex-senior execs, combined with hungry top-tier sales talents who know what it takes to build something that lasts. We don’t just sell. We shape strategy, forge partnerships, and unlock commercial value at a global scale.

With experience across Fortune 500s, hyper-growth scale-ups, and top tier consultant firms, we’ve built a team that combines deep strategic thinking with relentless execution.

Active in 150+ markets, we’re breaking into new industries, challenging legacy mindsets, and scaling some of the world’s most influential brands, from early adoption to enterprise-wide transformation.

We think like owners, act like operators, and deliver like partners.

This isn’t a traditional sales team. This is a team of builders.

If you’re ready to disrupt, lead, and grow — welcome.
