Lars Kirstein
Partner & Business Advisor
I bring over 25 years of experience in business development, IT, sales, and operational optimisation – combined with more than 20 years of leadership and board experience in both Danish companies and international corporations.
I’ve worked with business model development, sales of technology solutions, and strategy execution across both local and global contexts.
I thrive on collaboration across all levels of the organisation and believe in turning plans into action. I motivate, delegate, and listen – always driving progress without compromising on quality or results.
Throughout my career, I’ve led transformations, optimised business processes, assessed system portfolios and supplier setups, and developed digital execution plans.
My approach is strategic and value-driven. I focus on creating measurable business impact and improving performance while balancing the needs of all stakeholders.
In recent years, I’ve worked on IT reviews, IT Due Diligence, system selection processes, that bring IT closer to the business.
