Before joining NNIT, I worked 5 years as Chief Information Officer in IBM Denmark, and before that worked in IT and Clinical Operations at Henri Beaufour Institute Inc. in Washington D.C (US).
My big passion is to help tech companies with innovative and disruptive business models ... and scale profitably. The art of such startups is often the business model, go-to-market planning, experimentation, execution and not least perseverance. Building teams, crossing chasms, playing bowling alleys and winning categories are great challenges, and it is very satisfying when succeeding.

Each award cycle we receive hundreds, sometimes thousands, of nominations, which are boiled down to just five winners. But, (and it's a big one) while we believe it's important to celebrate the best, we don't believe the impact should stop there. The Index Award pipeline is an invaluable and ever-growing source of great solutions, regardless of winning status, that are ripe for investment — both human and financial. That's why we've gone beyond award-giving to invest.

I am a visionary and results-driven professional with a “can-do” mentality. Over the past 10+ years I have built up a strong track record in strategy & execution and new business development. I have expertise in handling complex and continuously changing environments across diverse industries and geographic regions. Seeing and shaping the big picture, along with a strong will to achieve and deliver quality is what drives me. One of my particular strengths is translating complex business matters into understandable strategies and executable action items.
1st Move is dedicated to discovering innovative and scalable business projects with strong market potential. 1st Move asks for a solid business plan supported by numbers and concrete plans for initial sales. To be considered for an investment, several criteria must be fulfilled: the idea, value proposition, description of market, customers and competition, commercial idea and strategy, and key people. Our sister company, 1st Mile (https://1stmile.dk), assists companies finding soft funding through anything from Innobooster to large EU funding programs. We hence have a strong network in the investment community and often enable syndication options and pull in other high-level investors for cases, as well as point towards public funding options to the startups we invest in. We are approved under Vækstfondens BA COVID-19 program and can hence gear our contribution three times with a loan.
