Lessons from the past

Klaus spent 10 years in the insurance industry working in finance or with strategy and transformation projects. After graduating from Copenhagen Business School, he started his career working as Financial Manager at a German commercial insurance company in Copenhagen; however, he was also assigned to the offices in London and Oslo. Later, he had spells with Danske Bank Group and RSA Insurance Group.

In 2001, Klaus joined a Danish Business-to-Business marketplace that was nominated to manage a public procurement portal. Klaus assumed the role as Senior Account Manager for major public customers. This experience means that Klaus fundamentally understands the legal and compliance requirements of the Public Sector as well as the culture that characterizes procurement in the Public Sector.
