I help people move forward.

I sit where systems meet people, and lately I build the software that meets them too.

[03]The record

Every year, and what happened in it.

The paid work drawn solid, the work I do anyway drawn in outline, every bar against the same scale of years. Read down the left edge for the shape of it, or across for what it was.

  1. 2024–now

    Falck

    Job and business consultant

    Casework and teaching across the whole width of the Danish employment system, from people who are ready for a job tomorrow to people who are years away from one. Outreach to the companies that might take them, and membership of the internal AI team within Falck's labour market services.

    • VITAS, Fasit, GDPR and the LAB act
    • Teaching job-ready and activity-ready citizens over 30

  3. 2023–2024

    Jobcenter København

    External mentor

    Individual guidance for citizens the system had run out of moves for. One of them had failed the same exam more than once; he finished the degree with a 10.

  4. 2019–2022

    StudieAkademiet and Mimer ApS

    CEO

    Founded StudieAkademiet, merged it with the consultant platform Mimer ApS so teaching and guidance sat in one company, and led the merged company as CEO.

    • Mimer matched over 2,000 customers through a network of 40 consultants
    • Sold to Aspiri A/S in 2022
  5. 2017–2019

  6. 2015–2018

    Infomedia and TV2 NEWS

    Editorial assistant

    Media monitoring and communication: reading the day's news down to what a client actually needed at Infomedia, and running social media and replying to the audience at TV2 NEWS.

  7. 2018–2024

    Hay Nako Organization

    Founder and chair of the board · alongside everything above

    A small school for children in a slum in the Philippines. It ran alongside my work until the local team took it over in 2024.

[04]Alongside

The one I built to not need me.

Hay Nako Organization gave children in a slum in Mandaue City somewhere safe to be: food, school, and enough play that a childhood is a childhood. I founded it in 2018 and chaired it alongside my other work until 2024, when a small shop covered almost all its costs and I handed it to the local team.

[05]How I work

Start with the problem, not the pitch.

The shortest path is still the most useful one: map the system, find the leverage point, then ship the smallest thing that changes reality.

[06]Learning

Where the method came from.

A law degree I paused on purpose, a year of education science, five semesters of folk high school, and a year in Canada at seventeen.

  1. 2018University of Copenhagen
    Law

    Bachelor of Laws completed. Started the master's in 2018, then paused it to run the company. No plans to go back. The legal method stayed; the diploma did not.

  2. 2013–2014Aarhus University, DPU
    Education science

    60 ECTS where social science meets pedagogy: competence development, learning processes, and the society both happen inside.

  3. 2012–2022NIH, Brenderup and Bosei
    Folk high school

    Three schools and five semesters in all, the first in 2012 and the last in 2022. An important part of who I am, and the reason teaching at one later felt like coming back rather than starting.

  4. 2009–2010Rotary International, Canada
    Exchange student

    A year at Fredericton High School in New Brunswick, and fundraising for Rotary while I was there.

  5. 2008–2012Vordingborg Gymnasium and HF
    Upper secondary, STX

    English and social science line.
