I have a solid, research-based knowledge in marketing, research and statistics and many years of teaching experience in these areas at Copenhagen Business School (CBS) and at Danish business academies where I succeeded in making difficult material understandable to students with no formal mathematical background.

In marketing I have special competences in direct and dialogue marketing and in CRM, where I have built models to calculate customer retention and customer life time value. I have been teaching on these topics at CBS and at the DM School (now the CRM Academy) organized by the Danish Marketing Association.

My leadership competences are acquired in functions as Head of Department of Theoretical Statistics at CBS, Program Director for the M.Sc. Program at CBS, Dean of the Economic Faculty at CBS, and President of BI Norwegian School of Business.

Over the last ten years, I have been responsible for CBS’ international accreditations and rankings. I have been successfully managing CBS’ EQUIS reaccreditation in 2010 and 2015, CBS’ initial AMBA accreditation in 2007 and reaccreditation in 2012, and CBS’ initial AACSB business accreditation in 2011. At present, I support CBS’ AACSB reaccreditation 2016 as an 'external expert'.

During this work, I have gained a solid knowledge on all aspects of the accreditation process, accreditation standards and documentation requirements. I know the process from both sides of the table since I have served as member and chairman of EQUIS and EPAS accreditation teams in a number of countries (Australia, England, France, Spain, Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Russia, Canada, and Vietnam).
