About me
The last 15 years I’ve been working in the field of new media – with a special focus on how digital media and communication transforms business, relations, leadership and organizations.
Rebuild21
I am the founder and driving force behind Rebuild21 – a new international conference. We aim to make it the yearly international gathering for constructive and progressive executives, business thinkers, innovators, politicians and entrepreneurs. To help me and LeaderLab with Rebuild21 I get a lot of help from partners like LEGO, IDEO, Monday Morning, Venture Cup and Copenhagen Institute for Future Studies just to mention a few.

The Danish Broadcasting Corporation
From 2000-2008 I worked as Head of Strategy & Innovation as well as Head of New Media Development at The Danish Broadcasting Corporation / DR.

Speaking, moderating and consulting
I moderate or attend conferences as a speaker on how globalization and social media challenge and transform business, relations, leadership and organizations. Favorite topics are open leadership, globalization, constructive growth strategies, social business innovation and social media.
If you need a fresh perspective on how to re-think business, your organization or leadership for a more open and transparent world please contact me.
I don’t have the time for consulting anymore though – sorry…
New Media Days
Among other activities I was the Founder of New Media Days, a New Media conference held in Copenhagen, gathering 5-700 media professionals primarily from Scandinavia.
Rebuild21
I am the driving force behind Rebuild21 – a new international conference in Copenhagen. Join visionary CEO’s, progressive politicians, global thinkers, open-minded journalists, great designers, curious investors, radical innovators and fearless entrepreneurs and help rebuild business for the 21st century.
Rebuild21 calls for an industry revolution. We believe that some of the most admired and profitable businesses of the 21st century will be providing answers to global challenges.
Many of the principles we based 20th century business on do no longer apply. At Rebuild21 we gather builders of tomorrow to help define the cornerstones of 21st century business.
Rather than a classic one-way conference Rebuild21 is one big work-camp. Sign-up for an invitation to Rebuild21 2012.
