Passionate sales, business development and product professional with commercial and operational management skills and experience gained at director level in the technology and TV space.As much as I enjoy working within corporate organisations with strong financial backbones and long-term strategies, as much do I appreciate the ventures and challenges by working at a startup with many unknowns, frequent changes and disruptive mindsets.Simultaneously with graduating (Master's Degree in International Business Development), I headed up all commercial activities in the Copenhagen-based startup EPG systems - a company sold to Tribune Media in 2013. The years at EPG systems gave me valuable experience with successfully building a company without significant investments, but also about due diligence processes and how to prepare a company for sale.Various positions (business development, product management, sales management) at Gracenote, a subsidiary of Tribune Media, have given me insights into the corporate way of working and allowed me to combine academic approaches in practice, with documented successMy network in the digital & interactive TV-market (cable, IPTV, satellite, OTT, broadcasters) is one of my strongest assets for access to new business opportunity.Fluent in English, German and Danish.When not working, I have my running shoes on, a tennis racquet in the hand or spend time with my family and friends.
