I match exceptional leaders with rare opportunities — elevating companies to their next level.

Professsionally Christian Schoyen is a Norwegian‑born, world‑class headhunter and founder of ESR (Executive Search Research), with 5,000+ global leadership placements for Fortune 1000 companies such as Microsoft, Raytheon, and Amgen. Behavioral futurist and bestselling author, including the U.S. bestseller Secrets of the Executive Search Experts, described by Korn Ferry Vice Chairman Melanie Kusin as "an excellent primer for search professionals."

At ESR, he helps high performers secure opportunity, alignment, and legacy using The Schoyen Algorithm™ and LifeScript.ai™ to forecast future behavior. This is a Norse‑ and Carl Jung‑inspired OS‑extraction framework developed over three decades that reveals the decision patterns behind long‑term performance and legacy. Created for the ESR community.

As a Norse advocate and direct descendant of Viking King Gudrød Ragnvaldsson, he applied this system's logic and Althing decision model through ESR’s philanthropic arm, Neighborhood Rescue of America. At NRA, he used his validated Vegas Vikings blueprint to reduce crime by 75%+ in U.S. cities with zero tax dollars, as documented in the multi‑award‑winning film Vegas Vikings.

WHAT DO YOU GIVE A PARENT TURNING 90? My vital father, Ove, was a headhunter for 30 years. So was I. As his 90th birthday gift, I extracted and digitally preserved his algorithm—the patterns and quiet loops behind nine decades of decisions —to create his Algorithmic Biography. The extraction framework used was The Schoyen Algorithm™."

He once said, “Why do people wait until the obituaries to say all the nice things?“ I didn’t wait. My father has his algorithm. You have yours. A separate report explains the extraction model used, which applied 12 modules to identify more than 4,000 behavioral patterns.

EVERY LIFE RUNS ON CODE. MOST PEOPLE WILL NEVER SEE THEIRS. MY FATHER SAW HIS.
