Available for contract from July 2026 · Remote / hybrid across Denmark

Turning architecture into decisions.

Enterprise architect with 20+ years across Fortune 500 firms, consultancies, and public-sector institutions — with the engineering depth to make strategy real.

What I help with
01

EA strategy & operating model

Reposition the architecture function from artifact producer to decision partner — strategy, governance, and the operating model to sustain it.

02

Solutions architecture & modernization

Platform and application modernization toward cloud-native, with transition architectures leaders can actually fund and execute.

03

Governance, risk & decision support

Lightweight governance and capability mapping that speeds investment decisions instead of slowing delivery.

04

AI & emerging-technology strategy

Translating fast-moving AI and emerging-tech topics into clear, practical guidance for executive and delivery audiences.

Practitioner-led perspective, read by senior audiences.

About

I spent roughly a decade as an engineer before moving into senior enterprise architecture roles. That foundation is the point: I can sit with executives on strategy and with teams on delivery, and keep both honest.

Through Compass, my independent practice, I advise organizations on enterprise architecture strategy, transformation, governance, and operating-model maturity — and advise enterprise-software vendors on practitioner-led thought leadership. I chair the Chief Architect Forum and write regularly for senior architecture and technology audiences.

Based near Viborg, Denmark. Working in Danish and English, on-site in Jutland or remote across Denmark and beyond.
