Additionally, I’m a member of World Economic Forum‘s Expert Network.
Background
From 2011-13, I was the Head of Social Media at Maersk Line, helping the shipping giant embark on social media and social business. Read this interview McKinsey did with me about the project.
I have a background as copywriter, videographer and concept developer at a digital agency based in Copenhagen. Prior to that I was a writer for Weekendavisen, a Danish weekly.
I hold an MA in Literature from University of Copenhagen and am the author of “Leth og kedsomheden” (2008), a book about boredom.
Here’s a few other pieces written about me – in Forbes, Harvard Business Review, Politiken (in Danish) and Mandag Morgen (in Danish). And a review of my book in Politiken (in Danish).

Recommendation
The best written/formal recommendation I ever got, was from Hanne Vibe Andreasen, Senior Manager at Deloitte Human Capital:
“I would love to be able to copy his ways of working in what seems like a dedicated state of flow, where great achievements, innovation and success come about in no time and with very limited resources. He can single-handedly and in weeks do what others with dozens of people and years are not able to!”
