Henrik Lauridsen

„Revolutionizing growth through new ideas, new visions, strategic
leadership and business model innovation – that is my focus!

Many companies and industries still risk to lose out on the
current rapid change and market development. Digitalization
is not a matter of technical process optimization – much
more it is about strategic leadership and future survival.
Learning and adapting from other industries, being able to
“connect the dots” and innovate your business model – that
is what it is all about!”

As CFO, he came to Germany in 2001, working for an international health care service provider, with about three thousand employees in Germany.
