Shauna McIntyre
CEO & CFO
Good morning. It’s great to be back here in Oslo. Thank you for the warm welcome. I come from a shipbuilding family in the West of Scotland. I’ve lived for many years in Continental Europe before moving back to the U.S. And I have to say how much I appreciate coming to Norway so frequently. Any place I can take a subway to the ski slopes is my kind of place. There’s a drive, a determination and a real discipline that is part of your culture here that I very much appreciate.
And I have to say it’s probably what led to your outstanding results in the Winter Olympics. And it’s with that drive and determination as well as the discipline that I bring with me to Ensurge and which then underscores, underpins the type of update I’m going to share with you today.
Before doing so, I think it might be worth spending a minute to provide you a bit of context. I spent my 30-year career bringing hardware technology to market, from innovation to mass production. I inherited a basket of products without a plan many years ago in my career, established the strategy, built the team, executed on that strategy and resulted in a $1 billion business. Later at Google, I was part of the early team to launch the consumer electronics business, pulling many alumni from Apple as we built the culture. There, we had a relentless discipline around the product development process, not allowing a product to be further advanced than what our data showed us. And it was that data-driven, determined results-oriented company that now has allowed the Pixel phone to be in its ninth generation and over 50 million units sold.
