Benjamin Ottensten

Product Lead & Builder
Copenhagen, Denmark

I'm a product builder with 10 years of experience in product leadership, design and frontend at startups.

I enjoy building high-quality user experiences that bring joy and drive growth. I have the best experience doing that when the team is small and made up of talented, technical and kind people who care about the details.

Experience

Now

Freelance

I currently freelance in product development (design, frontend) and product strategy. I like coming in early to shape something new, or stepping in to elevate what exists. Reach out if you want to collaborate!
