IT Manager at Dansikring A/S

II was responsible for all IT aspects, such as assets, projects, data systems, infrastructure, development, security, services and telecommunications. I also streamlined, standardized and integrated the IT resources, data and procedures to match the company’s strategy, directives, guidelines and best practices. The most rewarding and challenging project I managed was the creation, development and oversight of the Cash Management system.

It also had vehicle tracking, alert management and other features.

IT Systems Developer at Zürich Forsikring

I was part of a small team that established and expanded a local IT department in Denmark.

Programmer at Statsanstalten for Livsforsikring
08-1978 > 07-1986

My career in life insurance software development started as a trainee at HMX business/commerce education, where I learned about insurance mathematics, forecasting, pensions, prognosis, and more. I used Cobol and PL/1 to create software for policy management and calculations. My fascination with computers began when I trained with hollerith punched cards. The ZX80 Spectrum was the first computer I encountered, followed by the IBM XT personal computer. Since then, my passion for computing has grown.
