About

I help industrial and SaaS companies turn AI from a buzzword into measurable P&L impact. Over the last 12 months I've shipped 6 production AI/IoT products with no software budget — work that would have cost a six-figure agency invoice two years ago. Currently at Polytech, I lead IoT + AI logistics for the wind power industry, unlocking a €15M/year market opportunity by turning transport and condition data into decisions leaders can act on. What I bring: - AI Product & Strategy — rapid MVPs that validate value in weeks, not quarters. LLMs, agents, RAG, computer vision, Python analytics. - Industrial IoT at scale — shock, humidity, GPS tracking across global wind logistics; cross-border data, hardware + cloud. - Exited founder operator — built Ivanoff Interactive (1996–2011) into Magnus og Myggen / Skipper & Skeeto: 26 TV episodes, 20+ games, 1M+ copies sold, 9 languages, Egmont + PE-backed, airs in the Nordics and China. Still on air nearly 30 years later. - Platform scaling — grew SKIDOS from 0 to 25,000 paying subscribers and 1M DKK MRR; led a 40-person team with 30+ remote in India; doubled download-to-subscriber conversion from 2% to ~4%. - Cost discipline — cut development cost ~70% with automation and AI tooling. Selected things I've built hands-on recently: 3D wind-turbine blade shock analyzer · business card + OSINT scanner feeding CRM · customer logistics timeline visualizer · AI LinkedIn content tool · Mekko chart generator · Instagram scheduler · maritime data + shock correlation · Flutter mobile apps · Python analytics + computer vision pipelines. I'm currently open to senior roles driving AI-led transformation or AI product — Head of AI, VP Product (AI), AI Strategy Lead, Director of AI Product, or senior IC equivalents. Based in Copenhagen, open to hybrid across the Nordics (Stockholm, Oslo, Hamburg). Industrial / energy incumbents and SaaS scale-ups are where I add the most value. Reach out if you're wrestling with "we have the data but not the insight" — that's the conversation I love most.
