As the founder and director of Social Impact Lab, she is dedicated to build entrepreneurial communities for innovators working to solve social challenges and create systemic change. After becoming a designer, Silje started studying at Kaospilot, an alternative business school for transformative leadership and social innovation in Denmark, and obtained her degree in 2006. 

She is currently studying gestalt therapy, from a genuine interest in human behaviour and how we change the way we think and act.
