conTgo

• Copenhagen Area, Denmark

• Senior Business Analyst

  • Sep 2008 - May 2012

  I was involved in conTgo since the early startup days in 2008. I had different roles in the company as the business grew. I was part on a small dynamic team with focus on conceptual development of costumer solutions, implementation of global customers and account management. For a period I was part of a team that had responsibility for implementing a global customer in 4 countries for a pilot trial and later into full production in more than 110 countries globally. This customer is still one of the flagship customers here in 2014. During the global roll-out I had the responsibility to define, document and plan the development of a unique travel data workflow solution to the global customer. This solution has later become a standard part of the conTgo offering. I was the leading project manager on this project from start till end in close dialog with people from the customer's global security team. The last 2 years in conTgo one of my main focus areas was to develop a reporting platform, that could help customers analyse their booking data and here I worked on specific customer projects for existing global conTgo customers. I moved into a position as a “Data Detective” with expertise knowledge on how to identify KPIs for customers in a “Big Data” environment. Show less

Travis A/S

• VP & CTO

  • May 1999 - Jan 2003

  In the spring of 1999 I co-founded Travis A/S. Travis A/S was a leading provider of e-procurement systems within the business travel industry. The idea to found Travis A/S was based on my in-depth knowledge of complex on-line e-procurement, travel reservation and payment systems. My many years of experience within the above mentioned areas inspired me to develop the business plan and present it to venture capital investors. As an entrepreneur I have been part of the whole process from the initial start-up through all the different phases of establishing an international company. Travis was introduced to the marked in Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland in April 2000 and we launched on of the first on-line travel booking portals in the Nordic region in 2000. As CTO I was responsible for the business development and IT organisation and together with the CEO and COO we established the Nordic organisation, including hiring country managers in Norway, Sweden and Finland and hereby established an organisational structure in the four countries. I was a member of the board of Travis A/S. This gave me invaluable insight of the work at board level and hence the level of responsibility that lies on senior managers towards the shareholders and to the entire organisation. Show less
