It was named one of The Guardian’s Books of the Year in 2015. She works for Dagens Nyheter, the largest broadsheet newspaper in Sweden and was one of only a handful of European journalists to get an exclusive interview with Michelle Obama before the publication of the Former First Lady’s memoir “Becoming” in 2018.

In her role as a financial journalist Katrine has interviewed many of the world’s most influential economic thinkers like Nouriel Roubini and Nassim Taleb. Some of her broadcast interviews have been viewed more than a million times by international audiences on YouTube. Katrine’s second book “Mother of Invention: How Good Ideas Get Ignored in An Economy Built For Men” became an instant bestseller in Sweden in 2020. It will be published in the UK, US, Canada, South Korea and Italy in 2021 with more languages to come in 2022.
