Welcome to my personal webpage. I provide targeted consultancy and expertise within the space and defence sectors, grounded in decades of practical experience and strategic involvement at both national and international levels.
This site outlines key areas of work across space system development, engine testing, policy support, and advisory roles within dual-use technologies. I maintain a results-focused, technically grounded approach, and work with clients across government, industry, and research.
Feel free to explore the sections below or reach out for further dialogue.
Space
I have more than 20 years of experience working across both governmental and private space programmes. My background spans the full development lifecycle — from preliminary concept design to the delivery of flight hardware — covering entire systems such as launch vehicles, as well as a wide range of supporting subsystems.
In addition to development work, I have accumulated over 15 years of hands-on experience with rocket engine test facilities. This includes the design and construction of test sites, day-to-day operations, and live engine testing. I also have deep practical knowledge of system calibration, troubleshooting, maintenance, and root-cause analysis — including the implementation of corrective measures to ensure long-term test reliability.
Some key markers related to space is:
- NASA, Johnson Space Center, Lunar design and manned space flight manuals.
- Founder of Copenhagen Suborbitals
- Founder and board member of Orbex
- Launch experience and mission control flight operations
- Receiver of the Breitling Milestone Award and Ellehammer-prisen.
Defence
I am currently working as a Special Consultant within the Danish Ministry of Defence, where I support the development and execution of delivery strategies aligned with NATO’s capability targets.
In my previous roles within space programmes, I naturally encountered significant overlaps with national defence and security policies. This experience has deepened my understanding of strategic integration across these domains. In addition to my current role, I also serve as an advisor for private and commercial initiatives related to defence and dual-use technologies.
Communication
Throughout the years, I have held more than 100 lectures, speeches and key-notes for companies such as Novo Nordisk, Lund University, IDA, Lego, Siemens, Cobham Satcom, Maersk, Copenhagen Business School and many more. Additionally, I have contributed to a range of programmes, providing contemporary or expert insight to broadcast and media outlets including the BBC, WIRED, DR, TV2, Politiken, Berlingske, JP and others.
Services and Contact
I welcome inquiries from industry, government and private partners. Whether you’re exploring early-stage concepts or need experienced insight on ongoing projects, feel free to reach out.
Besides engaging in space or defence related projects, I perform various types of due diligence depending on your needs, such as:
- First eyes. A simple few pages or oral feedback on projects or interest you may have
- Generic due diligence. Rapport based feedback on your project or interest.
All conversations are treated with full confidentiality. You can expect clear communication, thoughtful input, and, where needed, honest boundaries around sensitive topics. My work in defence and space relies on trust — I extend that same respect to all correspondence.
