Everything is Negotiable
The secret to life, the universe, and just about everything – is to negotiate.
Raymond Sebergsen is an interdisciplinary problem-solver with over 30 years of experience in both the public and private sectors, working across national and international companies. His background spans journalism, support, IT, sales, product and service development, marketing, and leadership.
He has worked internationally in market-oriented roles and has been closely involved in product development in collaboration with R&D departments at companies such as ZTE in China, Radvision in Israel (now Avaya), and development teams in India. Along the way, he has contributed to product improvements for a wide range of companies – both well-known and lesser-known players.
His career began in local radio and TV, where he discovered the joy of communicating, creating, and doing things his own way – an approach that still defines how he works today: curious, hands-on, and driven by a desire to understand and improve. This media background also gave him a sharp sense of framing and messaging, something he actively applies in both sales and business development. He is particularly skilled at crafting pitches that resonate – not just explaining what to do, but why it’s worth doing.
One example is a project where he helped secure success simply by changing how a product was presented. The core idea remained the same, but with a new perspective, former competitors and skeptics became collaborators – without altering a single feature of the actual solution.
Sebergsen combines technical insight with human understanding and has a rare ability to identify patterns and opportunities where others see silos and routines. He thrives at the intersection of technology, strategy, and people, often stepping into the role of a developer – someone who builds on others’ ideas and makes them work in practice.
He is passionate about great customer experiences, clear collaboration, and making complex things simpler and more meaningful. Through his blog, Open Mind, he shares professional reflections and personal experiences – often with a sideways glance, a touch of self-irony, and a hint of humor.
And for those who need someone who sees things a little differently – someone who can zoom out and find the smartest path from idea to outcome – Raymond Sebergsen is available. He thrives when he can contribute as a problem-solver, challenge habitual thinking, and connect the dots that at first glance may not seem connected at all.
