More about Thomas Black-Petersen

In 2006 I started my own consulting company. I 2009 three partners joined in. Together we managed to outperform all similar Danish companies in growth performance. In 2016 the company was 100 employees and was recognized as one of the absolute fastest long-term growing companies in Denmark. Six years in a row awarded “Gazelle” company by the Danish business newspaper Borsen. In September 2016 Inspari will be awarded for the 7th time. Only five Danish companies has ever done that – and no one eight times. My main responsibilities at Inspari was sales, business development, finance, legal and my role as Managing Director. In June 2016 I left Inspari to focus on my family and to have a longer break from working long hours. Later in 2016 I decided only to work as a business angel investor, board member and some consulting tasks.

At my time at Inspari we got the following awards:

- Seven times Gazelle by Borsen (2010 – 2016)

- European Business Awards - Danish Champion in Growth Strategy 2016

- Two times nominated and one time finalist in PWC “Owner-manager of the year”

- One time nominated and three times finalist at EY “Entrepreneur of the year”
