He is proficient in German, Norwegian, French, Spanish, Chinese and Swedish. Colleagues describe him as "It was an honor and my esteemed pleasure to have worked with Jesper in the Transition and Transformation phases to manage the change of all bilateral International Roaming at MTN Group to the MTM GlobalConnect International Roaming Hub. It takes real-world experience, talent, and guts to be able to transition and transform a mobile telecom group’s bilateral International Roaming into a group-level, centralized Roaming Hub. From day one, Jesper was proactive to jump into the leadership team, roll up his sleeves, and aid in every facet of change, not just his “contracted role”. I was impressed by his initiative and plethora of ideas to make things happen. He could have just led and managed his assigned Wholesale Roaming Negotiations team that was scattered over 18 MTN Operational Companies across the African Continent. This would have been a daunting enough task by itself. This is not in Jesper’s character, and I can attest to him working tirelessly with the team of subject matter experts (“SME”) to make the change successful, regardless of whether onsite or remote, day or night, his area or not. Jesper exuded a positive / can-do attitude, also never short of humor in the face of adversity! He is an ease to work with, flexible to try new approaches, and brings his own ideas. Jesper demonstrated great initiative with the build-up of the MTN Roaming Hub and in his approach to how he led his Roaming Wholesale team. It was refreshing to work with another process expert like Jesper, as he was very hands-on and not afraid to “get his hands dirty” in helping me to re-design operational processes. Jesper offers a duality of a goal-oriented focus: on macro project goals, as well as being able to dive into the minutia of micro-operational change. Post the Transition Phase, he aided us as a cross-functional team player in the Transformation Phase to make the Roaming Hub a commercially viable operation. Humor aside, Jesper can be considered “carpet safe” in presenting to and negotiating with executive stakeholders. For example, he planned and led independent Wholesale Pricing Committee negotiations with all internal and external stakeholders masterfully, both at the MTN Group and MTN OpCo executive level to obtain critical buy-in from stakeholders. Not as easy as it sounds! Contracting or hiring Jesper Schlichtkrull as an International Roaming SME is a no-brainer decision. I am more than happy to recommend him to any company and can indeed attest to his competence and great character." and "I met Jesper in a workshop for Entrepreneurs. Besides being a really nice person with a great personality, I found that Jesper has a lot of valuable knowledge and experience. Jesper has a profound know-how within sales and project management, which shows in his way of explaining how to optimise revenues and business strategies. I loved picking his brain for information and feedback on certain aspects of my own business. Although our businesses are in distinct different niches, I can highly recommend Jesper and his work, due to the fact that he has always delivered a positive result. "
