CHRISTIAN SCHOYEN
What’s written in your Viking Saga?
Christian Schoyen is a Norwegian-born world-class headhunter and founder of ESR, with over 5,000 key placements for Fortune 1000 companies such as Raytheon, Amgen, and Microsoft. His U.S. bestseller Secrets of the Executive Search Experts is recognized as a foundational industry manual and endorsed by Korn Ferry Vice Chairman Melanie Kusin as “an excellent primer for search professionals.”
A direct descendant of Viking King Gudröd Ragnvaldsson, he applies Norse systems thinking to leadership, operations, and civic transformation. In his philanthropic work, his Althing-based community model achieved a 75% crime reduction in 21 days in Las Vegas and over 90% reductions in other U.S. cities. The model is documented in his multi-award-winning film Vegas Vikings and was recognized with an honorary award by the Las Vegas Mayor and City Council.
He is the creator of LifeScript.AI, a proprietary platform that combines ancient Norse logic with predictive behavioral algorithms to assess and guide high performers across career, character, and purpose. Across all domains, he builds digital systems that merge ancient logic with modern intelligence—guiding transformation across individuals, organizations, and society. He holds a BBA from Pacific Lutheran University and conducted his African American Studies at California State University, Los Angeles.
