About Kristoffer Okkels

For more than 15 years I've worked with strategic business development at some of the biggest agencies in the Nordic region. Today, I work as an independent consultant.I have experience across most commercial disciplines - from marketing (positioning, campaigning, loyalty, etc.) through sales (segmentation, channels, partnerships, etc.), and innovation (trend scouting, new business models, concept development, etc.). My approach is based on a strong belief that businesses need to be better at understanding the world around them - not least their customers' expectations. I help companies create an outside-in view and use it as a catalyst to adapt and develop their commercial activities.   I regularly give presentations on both specific trends and more generally on how to turn trends into commercial opportunities.
