Strand is a manager and owner of fishing vessels and companies within fisheries and investment. In 2021, she had the highest income among Norwegian female businesspeople within fisheries. [1]

When Bondevik's Second Cabinet assumed office in October 2001, Strand was named as the State Secretary for the Conservative Party's Minister of Fisheries Svein Ludvigsen.

Strand was a co-owner of this trawler, albeit a passive owner at the time. [3]
