As private consultant and member of international committees from 1985-1989 he was involved in developing standards and markets for ecological food products. In 1993 he obtained the Ph.D. degree from the Technical University of Denmark on a thesis on life cycle assessment. Since then he has been working as a consultant on life cycle assessment. He was instrumental in the development of the SPOLD LCI data format and database network from 1995 to 2001. He is executive manager of the ecoinvent database, external associate professor at Aalborg University, member of the UNEP/SETAC Life Cycle Initiative's task forces on Social aspects (co-chair) and Natural resources and land use, expert delegate to the ISO TC 207 / SC5 on life cycle assessment.
