I have had the pleasure to work with Jakob on multiple occasions at Swipp when creating and reviewing business models and projects ROI or viability. Jakob showed an excellent capacity to quickly get an overview and provide understandable feedback to the various shareholders (C-Level). I would have no problem recommending Jakob as team-player and collaborator.

Jeg kender Jakob som en rigtig god kollega og en væsentlig ressource inden for Finance. Jeg er især bekendt med hans fremragende kvaliteter udi Excel - herunder pivot-tabeller m.m. Her har han flere gange kommet mig til undsætning. Målt på samtlige parametre - socialt og kompetencemæssigt - får Jakob derfor mine varmeste anbefalinger.
