Head of Legal

👋Attensi is a Norwegian tech company specialized in gamified simulation training. Since our inception in 2012, Attensi has grown to become a global leader in the field, with our platform being used by global brands in more than 140 countries and 30 different languages.

It is a radically new method to achieve high impact training that scales across large organisations.

Attensi is growing fast and having recently secured a further $26M investment from Lugard Road Capital, DX Ventures and Viking Venture, we are focused on accelerating our business growth. We are over 250 Game Changers in the UK, US, Germany and Norway (our HQ). You can find out more about us here.
