Completed BSc. Bachelor in Economics (Copenhagen Business School) in finance and marketing and started on my MSc. Master in Economics, but I did not complete the full education program. Our family have more than 100 years industrial traditions in the glass manufacturing enterprise business and the family business and tradition has been inherited through generations. I decided in 1980 not to join the family business due to a different professional interests and other personal motivating reasons.
I have always highly motivated by starting up new companies or developing business plans from visionary ideas or from new technologies into mainstream products. During my career and years of working in different industries, I have learned how to combine traditional business practices and methods into new valuable business units, either developing new products or by changing existing products incorporating new technologies.
I have been executing my professional goals with a strong and dedicated personal drive in order to motivate, explain and educate my investors, staff or the teams in the organizations. Whether the sales job has been to change the focus of an engineering team or the Board of Directors, it is important that you understand the
fundamentals of your market and the basic technology parameters. Some old fashioned business- and moral principles have been inherited from my family since I started my professional career. These “rules” have been my guideline through my career, giving me a strong personal trustworthy open minded personality, when entering agreements between business partners, staff or customers.
Since 1970 I have been a competitive regatta sailor and today still practice my sport on a international high level, competing in major regattas throughout the world. Our family sailing traditions has been for more than a century and is today handed over to next generation.
Personal hobbies are new technologies, cooking and photography.
