My background

I co-founded my first internet company in 1996, as a student. It was early enough that nobody really knew what the internet would become — which turned out to be the best possible education.

That led to the Danish Broadcasting Corporation, where I spent years leading strategy and innovation during one of the most disruptive periods in public media — learning firsthand what it takes to move a large institution toward an uncertain future without losing what makes it worth saving.

From there, I've kept building. Leaderlab brought together senior leaders from Google, LEGO, Novo Nordisk, Microsoft and others to think seriously about leadership in times of change. Launch Nordic built an alliance across IKEA, Nike, eBay, Kvadrat and the US State Department around innovation and growth. GreenKayak turned a simple idea — clean up waterways by kayak — into a global environmental movement. Mand21 and Dinnr followed, each in their own way about the same underlying question: how do you bring people together around something that matters?

The thread running through all of it is the same: getting the right people in the room, helping them see further than they could alone, and building the trust that makes collective action possible.
