EMMA F REHNSTRÖM
PERSONAL DETAILS
Born: 7th December 1972 in Malmö, Sweden
Civil status: Married to Sebastian Ravn Rasmussen,
3 children- Jonathan (22/7 2005), Matilda (25/1 2008), Victor (9/4 2009)
SUMMARY
My working career has so far spanned fields of academic research, governmental institutions and
privately owned businesses. The projects I have been managing have succesively grown in size and
complexity; from helicopter supported 2-person research based minimum budget fieldcamps in
northern Sweden to 2 M$ base metal exploration campaigns in northern Greenland. I have for most
projects I have been involved in have had full budget responsibility, both planning, follow-up and
reporting and, where applicable, personel responsibility. I am very experienced with field logistics,
in the Arctic in particular, with 6 field seasons in northern Scandinavia and 9 in Greenland. I am organised and pay attention to detail, but also keep an overview in any project.
I am a very able synthesizer of large amounts of information and I take pride in completing my tasks.
I have worked professionally in most countries in Scandinavia and I have a formidable geoscience
network that span both the industry, government institutions and academia.
I am an open and honest person and I look for pragmatic consensus solutions to problems, but I
do not hesitate to take leadership when needed. I am loyal and dedicated to my work and I am not
afraid of taking on challenges or responsibility. Basically, what you see is what you get.
I enjoy out-door activities and have a physically active life, including running, swimming and skiing.
