Louise Sverud
Reclaim your time, reduce overwhelm, and achieve your business goals.
I’m Louise Sverud, my path to entrepreneurship has been one of resilience and reinvention. Like many, the COVID-19 pandemic turned my life upside down, leaving me facing uncertainty and unexpected challenges. After losing two jobs in less than a year, I found myself at a crossroads, unsure of what the future held.
But amidst the chaos, I discovered an opportunity to pivot and pursue my passion for language and administration. Drawing upon years of experience freelancing in translation and working in administration roles, I embarked on a journey to create LSVA – a business that combines my love for languages with my knack for organisation and efficiency.
My vision
To create a world where entrepreneurs can focus on what they do best while I handle the rest, enabling them to achieve greater success and fulfilment in their endeavours.
My mission
My mission is simple yet powerful: to empower fellow entrepreneurs to reclaim their time, reduce overwhelm, and achieve their business goals.

My history
Experience & Credentials
ENTREPRENEURSHIP
With so much experience behind me, it seemed logical to channel it into my own business, where I have been going from strength to strength and I now work with so many fantastic business owners and educational organisations.
EDUCATION
With a master’s degree in psychology with a focus on interpersonal communication you can rest assured that our communication will run smoothly. My intuition combined with my knowledge of human behavior makes me a great communicator and I can easily adapt to different situations and contexts.
BIG CORPORATE
I have worked for several large companies with information, education and administrative tasks often running a department on my own with tight deadlines and a fast tempo.
EMBRACING CHANGE
Moving abroad when I was 30 was a big step. The challenges of learning a new language, understanding a new culture and also becoming a parent just made me more determined to succeed and learn through the process.
