In 2005, Marie moved to New York from Sweden for a 6 month project building mobile websites. A lot more than six months later, she is still in New York, although with a 3 year detour to San Francisco where she co-founded a startup.  Marie is very excited to be part of the Patch team and to get to focus on building a viable business model in local journalism, this in the midst of the most evolving times ever for the industry.

Marie holds a BS in Computer Science from the University of Uppsala, Sweden.
