Summary

I am an experienced sales professional with a strong background in lead generation to deal closure. I have built a company to a revenue of 30 million Danish kroner, and I am a self-starter with plenty of initiative. I have a natural understanding of complex solutions, and in my last role, I worked closely with our IT team to understand the technical aspects of our product, a Satcom IoT modem used by Danish astronaut Andreas Mogensen on the ISS.I quickly grasp new technologies and have a strong interest in innovation. I am a good listener and skilled at brainstorming, which allows me to find creative solutions to challenges. I am accustomed to setting goals and working diligently to achieve them. I have strong resilience and can quickly bounce back from rejection. My focus on building strong and lasting relationships has always been one of my greatest strengths. I am both sales-oriented and supportive, thriving in collaborative environments to achieve results.

I have run a sole proprietorship for many years under a few names and CVR numbers due to changes in my career path and professional focus. Each time, I established a new CVR number to align with my evolving business model. These transitions were not linked to any issues or bankruptcies. Instead, I successfully adapted to market demands and maintained stable operations, always focusing on responsibility and efficiency. The changes in names and CVR numbers reflect my growth and adjustment as an entrepreneur.
