Peter Brandt-Clausen (eMBA) , Hadsten, Denmark

I believe a constant change to a greater extent best serves an individual and an organisation, and therefore I'm always to on the move. Being a business change agent is this role anchored in interest and curiosity for moving individuals or organizations in a new direction, by being able to communicate both from the 'soapbox' to Executive Board and adapting the dialogue to the recipient and avoiding creating a distance. I have a natural passion for developing, creating growth and exploring through a high level of energy and a great need for enthusiasm, and I'm always focused on achieving more significant and better performance. I exhibit drive and persistence when it comes to reaching ambitions and targets, and I don't mind being under pressure, nor applying pressure. I see pressure as a positive force that can help promote ideas and achieve goals. Through promoting bold actions in the organisation, I have a strong attitude about how things should be done and I'm not afraid to intervene and correct the process if it deviates from the vision. Welcoming, speaking and likes to meet new people. Straight, direct, open and willing to challenge the attitudes and achievements of others. Willful and independent and rarely lets personal circumstances affect my judgment. Flexible, thrive nicely with obscurity and can act independently. Practical, pragmatic and grounded in my way of thinking and solving problems. As a leader, I demonstrate an ability to drive the group/team toward results, share the passion and energy, initiate innovative change and sustain rapid progress. I drive and support processes and projects and make things happen. My experience is from multiple business models within both B2B and B2C markets, where customers meet the organization through numerous distribution channels. I have demonstrated running and changing the business with a focus on results and the added value to the customer. I have realized and demonstrated that my strongest side is in the role of a business change agent by combining new business ideas, business concepts, and product solutions. Consistently this has been moving the business towards cost efficiency and value chain optimization. From my core capabilities, I can combine and implement top-level strategy into practical context in various countries and markets and make complex issues look simple; this is done consecutively through multiple roles in both Salling Group, Canon, Nobia/HTH, and Flügger group. I understand the necessity of combining my academic insights from the recently obtained MBA degree with practical experience and understanding of business operations. I have grown business acumen through leadership at several levels from Project Manager for several project teams and with different organizational backgrounds, to Country Manager in both Denmark and Sweden and also Chief Sales Officer for the overall commercial organization.
