Morten Kjær
Founder and Advisor
I am a management consultant, board member, and non-executive chairman with extensive experience in advisory and management consulting. My focus is on helping ambitious leaders achieve sustainable growth by developing and scaling their businesses through strategic planning and governance.
Throughout my career, I have specialized in top-line growth, strategy development, and business transformation, driven by market insights and leadership. I have held C-level roles, board positions, and advised C-suite executives.
I'm passionate about optimizing companies for competitive advantage, improved profitability, and growth. My expertise lies in corporate strategy, adapting business models, and executing through leadership and governance. I've worked with everything from digital startups to global companies.
Additionally, I serve as an active board member, primarily in growth-focused, owner-managed, and PE-owned companies. In this role, I bring reflection, perspective, clear communication, and practical solutions, delivering real value to organizational leadership.
Corporate strategy and leadership consulting are crucial to an organization's well-being and growth. Individually, strategy and leadership consulting serve distinct roles, but together, they can drive organizations forward.
