My world: DEVELOPMENT of technologies and businessesInventor of Novo Nordisk FlexTouch® insulin injection pen with more than 3 billion devices produced, and numbers still growing rapidly. Patent no. US 8,096,978. Pre-filled injection device with superior user-friendliness.I have always enjoyed inventing and creating stuff, so engineering was a natural career choice for me. My world was always about sketching out my ideas (THINKING WITH A PEN).As a young engineer I was lucky to work both in Japan and Silicon Valley. In both countries I joined a team of some of the most creative and successful engineers and entrepreneurs in the world. Highly motivated I went back to university to do my PhD in engineering design where I created design methodologies to help design new innovative products that users would find functional, inspirational and easy to use.In 1999 I established the engineering consultancy 2C together with two friends. Since then, I have completed more than 200 major high-tech development projects for clients. The highlight so far being the invention of FlexTouch®. As part of the 2C strategy, we develop new technologies and spin-out innovation businesses. We are heavily involved in the startup company CSF-Dynamics that develops a disruptive shunt for treatment of hydrocephalus.Achievements:- Winner of "Good Design Award 2011" (11G10057) for Novo Nordisk- Inventor of several new high-tech products for clients (18 patents filed)- Author of book: “Betjeningsdesign” (Interaction Design), Teknisk Forlag (in Danish)The great mentors/heroes in my engineering life: Mogens Myrup Andreasen (DTU), Jacob Buur (DTU), Jørgen Jørgensen (DTU), Allan Spork (DTU), Thomas Lund (Dansk Teknologi), Finn Nielsen (Dansk Teknologi and 2C), Yoshihiko Tsuzuki (Brother Industries), Bill Verplank (Interval), Colin Burns (Interval), Durrell Bishop (Interval), Jim Adams (Stanford), Lars Kierkegaard (Sant+Bendix), and Chr.
