Biography|Anna Tumadóttir — The Gimli Building Where She Took a Strategic Management Master

People treat her formation as an American political-science story that ends on Grand Avenue.

The second degree on the public record was taken on this Reykjavík campus.

The World Economic Forum profile lists a master's in strategic management from the University of Iceland.

Creative Commons' own staff page says she left home to study in Norway, the United States, South Africa, and then Iceland again.

Macalester's Class of 2006 list dates the American bachelor's.

No public source found so far prints a graduation year for the Icelandic master's.

The Faculty of Business Administration, Viðskiptafræðideild, keeps its offices and service desk in Gimli at Sæmundargata 10.

The university's own building pages put the School of Social Sciences student counter on the ground floor of this block.

Gimli sits on the south side of the campus spine, a short walk from Guðjón Samúelsson's 1940 Aðalbygging.

The main building holds administration and a ceremonial hall.

The business faculty does not.

A visitor finds a working university block: classrooms, computer rooms, reading rooms, and the faculty desk that handles enrolment paper.

There is no plaque here that names her.

The programme she completed is face-to-face strategic management under the School of Social Sciences, with a thesis.

The Forum also notes later work in public university administration.

That line is not dated and is not pinned to a named office on this lot.

After the degrees, the public trail goes into a decade of operations at distributed performance-marketing start-ups.

Creative Commons hired her from that trade in September 2019 as Director of Product.

The pin is Gimli, at 64.1390664 north, 21.9501453 west, from OpenStreetMap's building footprint for Sæmundargata 10.
