Summary
Claus has almost 30 years of experience as a professional IT consultant.
For the past almost 7 years he has worked at Nordea - lately as an IT project manager, and he has
experience from large companies in the financial and shipping business as well as the pharmaceutical
industry.
He has extensive experience in collaboration with many stakeholders - both national and international
partners and has completed negotiations with the operating and system suppliers and external outsourcing
partners. He has participated in large scale software development and deployment in an international and
agile working environment, securing sufficient human resources, hardware, environments and
infrastructure. He has been planning, moving and commissioning of IT workplaces, IT systems and
peripheral computer equipment on a large scale, from existing locations to new, as well as travel to very
distant destinations to solve IT-related challenges, where the local IT competence have not been sufficient
to solve the task.
Claus is extremely well-liked and has very good references at Nordea. His joy and fascination working with
IT is to be found in advising, communication and support, where the daily contact with customers and uses,
a more efficient workflow in companies and the global communication aspect represents a great
professional satisfaction for him.
As a person Claus sees opportunities rather than limitations, he is persistent and patient, and he keeps the
analytical overview. Humor is an obvious partner for him, and he is to be found "on the bright side of life".
