possible sales revenue via all types of channels and at the same time ensure production and delivery at minimal cost.
Configit is headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark with sales offices in the US, UK, Germany and China with customers
all over the world.
The position includes global responsibility for new business sales with focus on the Nordic region and Asia where I have
establishment a new office in Shanghai. The revenue is growing close to 100% per annum and there has over the last year
been added several new and very large international enterprises to the reference list.

idea is simple - stop the shrinkage in the company's transaction flow. Hidden financial resources and incorrect invoice
processing are discovered and corrected for the future. The offer to the customers is quality assurance of the company's
financial processes and transformation of error into pure profit. Qvalia have found more than 200,000 Euros in average
per. project and returned more than a quarter Billion of Euros to our customers due to VAT and tax errors, faulty invoices
and system and human mistakes, money that would otherwise be lost. If Qvalia do not find faulty transactions, the company gets a 'blue label' that their processes work 100% without costing them expensive consulting hours. The concept
is called Enriching Audit, because it can only be positive.
In one year, the Danish office was started based upon the Swedish headquarter's concepts and resulted in more than 15
new contracts, which resulted in the recruitment of local accounting consultants significantly ahead of schedule. In
addition, we introduced a new consulting services in advice and control of energy taxes, which on the basis of success in Denmark also were included in the parent company's product portfolio.

business solutions within selected industry verticals, based on Dynamics AX and NAV, CRM, Sharepoint and the entire
Microsoft technology stack as well as advanced Industry Solution Sets of own development.
The task was to establish a separate business unit focused on Dynamics NAV activities of small and medium-sized
companies that need greater flexibility and more attention than the larger AX customers which the rest of Columbus is
serving. I created a consulting and delivery organization that would service the existing NAV customers with a much
greater focus than before and in a short time sold quite a few new projects where expertise in Navision, combined with additional knowledge of the complementary technology stack created added value for our customers. The former primary
focus on license sales was extended by a dedicated professional services business where effective project management
was a major competitive factor.
New add-on modules to the standard Microsoft NAV solution was identified, so we were better able to offer complete
solutions that fit the needs of our customers. There was also introduced new offerings in the form of NAV in the Cloud

(Navisky), where especially the smallest customers could have access to a complete NAV installation and associated end-
user support for a very limited amount per month with the ability to adjust both up and down when needed.

Niro is the headquarter of the biggest and most profitable segment of the German conglomerate GEA, based in Germany.
The Process Engineering Segment, with 5,000 employees in 53 countries, takes turn key responsibility for large scale
process plants within the Food, Beverage, Pharmaceutical and Chemical industries worldwide, based on their own design and engineering. They needed a visionary CIO who could help establish a new collaborative platform for the division. I
was chosen because of my international experience and business understanding.
We developed and implemented one common ERP system for PE division based on Microsoft Axapta for 2,000 users, and close cooperation with Microsoft Development Center gave a place in their Customer Advisory Board for 5 years. The
solution was customized to support the very project-oriented business and became an advanced project module, which
is now offered by Microsoft as an add-on module for Microsoft Dynamics AX.
In 2010 I was nominated by Computerworld as one of five CIO's of the Year based on my performance and creativity.
Specifically, my effective project management and ability to help the IT organization and the business to work positively
together was highlighted in connection with the nomination.

successful software houses in the world according to research companies such as Gartner Group Inc. and AMR. IBS is
represented in 24 countries with own subsidiaries and through partners in 30 countries.
I was appointed International Business Development Director for IBS-HQ but with local office in Copenhagen. I had the
sales and delivery responsibility for IBS largest international clients including Volvo, started IBS up in Italy and was MD in Milan for six months and was one of the driving forces in the integration of acquisitions in the Netherlands and France. In
addition, I bought their distributor in South America and started up in Colombia, Venezuela and Mexico.
When I was home from my many travels, I was responsible for most of the subsidiaries in Europe and was board member of most of the European companies and chairman of those I had started up in Asia, southern Europe and Latin America.
In the four years I worked for IBS, I was instrumental in the international development of IBS.

Goods from the US and Europe all over Asia and South America, producing milk powder in China and representing the most important suppliers of professional printing machines and related equipment in Asia, South Africa and Scandinavia.
The main duty was to implement a new ERP system for EAC world-wide and build the necessary support organization and
improve efficiency of the local IT activities with Asian employees. In connection with the EAC divisionalisation and
relocation of headquarters to Singapore, I concentrated on the largest and most profitable part of the business, sales of large printing units, primarily from German Heidelberg, who had the most need of IT-based business support, and I was
appointed CIO of EACgraphics with responsibility for 17 countries in Asia plus Scandinavia.
After careful consideration, I chose a Swedish ERP system from IBS AB, which was implemented and tested with the starting point in Hong Kong, where I spent almost 9 months. After completion of the pilot project, the system was rolled out to the rest of the organization. The main result of the new system was much improved management of spare parts
sales and service personnel, which would give a very short pay back time of the investment.
