What Eksplore does
Exploring opportunities and shaping direction where it matters most.
— in contexts marked by complexity, change, or ambition.
Eksplore works alongside owners, boards and executive leadership through active participation. This contribution typically takes shape in three areas:
Revealing potential in existing assets
Assets and capabilities are often underutilised.
Eksplore brings an integrated view across organisation, operations, value chains and capital — helping owners and boards see what can realistically be strengthened, repositioned or simplified over time.
Shaping direction in complexity
Complexity often clouds perspective, pulls attention toward barriers, and pushes organisations into short-term firefighting.
Eksplore helps boards and owners regain direction by maintaining a long-term view through constructive dialogue and respectful challenge.
Navigating critical transformations
Organisations often face important shifts — profitability turn-around, internationalisation, ownership change, or changes in context.
Eksplore helps frame the right questions, navigate critical choices, and support disciplined follow-through during execution.
Eksplore contributes best where opportunities are approached with openness and commitment.
How Eksplore contributes
Contribution is personal, contextual, and grounded in shared responsibility.
Eksplore works through close, experience-based dialogue — adapting to each context rather than applying standard frameworks, packaged analyses or lectures.
Perspective shaped by real complexity
The contribution draws on decades of international industrial leadership across strategy, operations, transformation and execution — enabling a holistic view of how strategic choices play out in practice.
Constructive challenge with intent
Eksplore contributes by asking the questions that matter, challenging assumptions respectfully, and helping boards and owners stay focused on long-term direction and sound decisions.
Selectivity and relevance
Eksplore engages selectively, in a limited number of roles where responsibility, execution and long-term direction genuinely matter.
How Eksplore engages
Eksplore engages in different ways, depending on context, need, and mutual fit.
The form of engagement is chosen to best support sound decisions and long-term direction.
Board roles
Engagement as board member or chair, contributing experience, judgment and constructive challenge to governance, strategic direction and value creation.
Strategic dialogue and advisory engagement
Closely connected contribution outside formal board roles, focused on strategic choices, ownership questions or critical turning points where clarity and perspective matter.
Investment and financing involvement
Selective minority investments or financing participation, where an active ownership perspective supports alignment, discipline and long-term value creation.
Interim strategic roles
Time-limited leadership roles during transitions or exceptional situations, where experience, credibility and sound judgment are essential to maintaining direction.
Who is behind Eksplore
Eksplore is founded and led by Maryne Lemvik.
— offering board-level contribution grounded in decades of international executive responsibility across complex, global value chains.
Maryne brings more than three decades of international industrial leadership, spanning strategy, operations, transformation, and execution. Educated as a process engineer, she has spent most of her career in global industrial companies — including 23 years in a listed multinational group and 10 years as CEO of a privately owned international company — with extensive experience in executive roles carrying full P&L responsibility across international operations.
Across these roles, she has worked closely with owners and boards, carrying full accountability for strategic direction, performance, and long-term value creation — not as an advisor, but as an executive with direct responsibility.
Today, Eksplore reflects a deliberate shift: from executive roles to board-level contribution and minority investments, where experience, perspective and constructive challenge can support better decisions in situations marked by complexity and uncertainty.
Eksplore is currently a personal platform. Over time, it will expand to include complementary profiles — while remaining anchored in personal responsibility, integrity and a long-term perspective.
The visual language of Eksplore draws on mountains and sea as symbols of orientation, exposure and long-term perspective.
