How I Work
Leadership is rarely about having all the answers.
It is about asking better questions.
For more than twenty five years, I have worked across international shipping, offshore wind, entrepreneurship, technology and strategic growth.
My experience includes international leadership roles with A.P. Møller Maersk, six years on the Board of Cadeler during the company’s transformation from startup to international offshore wind leader, and my current role as Board Member of European Maritime Finance.
Today I work with boards, founders and investors on governance, strategic growth and long term value creation.
Board Work
I believe good governance starts with curiosity, preparation and respectful dialogue.
A board member does not need to have every answer.
The responsibility is to understand the business, remain independent and ask the questions that help management and fellow board members make better decisions.
I value calm judgement, clear communication and the ability to challenge constructively while remaining kind.
Strategy
I believe strategy is about clarity.
Not complexity.
The role of a board is not simply to supervise management. It is to help create long term value through sound decisions, independent thinking and the courage to address difficult questions.
Entrepreneurship
Throughout my career, I have founded and helped build companies in very different industries.
Shipping. Renewable energy. Healthcare. Consumer products. Technology.
Each venture has taught me that successful businesses are built around people before products.
I understand both the ambition of founders and the responsibility of boards and investors.
Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence is changing every industry.
The opportunity is not simply to replace people. It is to help people think, communicate and make better decisions.
My approach is practical rather than theoretical. I use AI every day in strategy, communication, governance and product development.
Creativity
Alongside my maritime and business career, I founded Ugly Duckli.
It is a creative universe built around Danish culture, storytelling and meaningful experiences.
It is also my creative sanctuary.
It reminds me that some of the best ideas appear when we allow ourselves to slow down.
