@torbenknudsen
Executive commercial growth leader driving digital transformation and recurring revenue.
What I'm looking for
I am an executive-level leader with 25+ years driving commercial scaling, M&A, and digital transformation across cloud and hybrid environments. I build predictable recurring revenue through strategic go-to-market programs and acquisition-led expansion.
I have led end-to-end IT solution development and service delivery for hundreds of SME clients, supporting cloud (SaaS/IaaS), DevOps practices, and robust cybersecurity frameworks that improved reliability for over 4,500 end users.
I combine operational excellence, IT governance, and consultative client focus to deliver measurable growth — orchestrating market expansion, CRM-driven retention, and technology integrations (AI/ML) that create competitive advantage.
