Public Affairs & Strategic Communication | Bridging Business, Policy & Purpose | Denmark, Nordic & EU Advocacy | Association & Foundation Leadership | Stakeholder Trust-Building | Life Sciences & Technology

I help organisations — public or private, commercial or non-profit — find direction, voice, and connection in an increasingly complex world.

How I do it

Every engagement begins with creating clarity — about purpose, priorities, and people. I work hands-on, strategically, and with respect for both the organisation’s DNA and its context.
​
Whether as an external consultant, interim leader, or trusted adviser, I aim to create results that endure beyond the assignment.

Services

Public Affairs & Advocacy
Helping organisations strengthen their voice and credibility in Denmark, the Nordics, and Brussels.
  • Representation and advocacy in regulated sectors, including veterinary medicines, life sciences, and technology.
  • Development of EU and Nordic stakeholder strategies that align policy goals, market interests, and societal expectations.
  • Building coalitions and partnerships that drive results — grounded in trust, transparency, and shared purpose.
​Example:
As Executive Director of Veterinary Industry Nordic (ViNordic), I established a cross-Nordic association for the veterinary medicines sector, leading policy engagement with competent authorities across five countries and representing the region in Brussels as Vice President of AnimalhealthEurope.

Strategic Communication
Turning complex agendas into clear and convincing narratives.
  • Design and implementation of communication strategies for companies, associations, and foundations.
  • Development of communication frameworks that unite leadership, members, and partners.
  • Media strategy, issues management, and executive communication.
​Example:
At LEO Pharma, I led global communication and public affairs, building a coherent corporate voice across regions and supporting senior leadership in stakeholder engagement, reputation management, and major organisational transitions.

​Association & Nonprofit Leadership
Creating coherence and capability in member-based and mission-driven organisations.
  • Experience from founding The Danish Stuttering Association, leading a merger into a broader national organisation, and establishing The Speech Foundation (Talefonden).
  • Governance, strategy, and positioning for associations and non-profits.
  • Internal alignment and leadership coaching for boards and management.
​Example:
Having taken Stammeforeningen i Danmark from concept to national organisation, and later establishing Talefonden as a lasting philanthropic platform, I bring hands-on experience in creating impact-driven structures with clear governance and purpose.

Stakeholder Trust-Building
Where science, business, and public interest meet — bridging disciplines to move agendas forward.
  • Scientific collaboration and communication in life sciences, including philanthropic and academic partnerships.
  • Stakeholder engagement across research institutions, NGOs, and policymakers.
  • Facilitating dialogue and consensus-building where perspectives differ — and alignment matters.
​Example:
Through my consultancy work with LEO Foundation and Pharmacosmos, I developed global communication projects connecting scientific communities, funding bodies, and business leaders — aligning research ambition with corporate and societal priorities.

Strategic Branding & Market Development
Strengthening visibility and commercial presence through clarity, creativity, and credibility.
  • Positioning strategies, market communication, and brand platforms.
  • Support for SMEs and technology-driven companies in refining their narrative and growth path.
  • Integration of communication and sales development for measurable results.
​Example:
For Hovmand A/S and Gertsen & Olufsen, I designed and implemented integrated brand and communication strategies combining market positioning, digital storytelling, and commercial development.
