Mads Kristensen (+45 3025 7471)’s Summary

Realizing potential. That's my goal in life. I thrive by intriguing challenges and opportunities around me, and my professional experience reflects that having spent 7years with Microsoft and TV 2 Denmark in various very exciting and challenging roles.

My life goal is also the reason I have now embarked on a new career as independent consultant within strategy, business development related to new media and social software + having a few entrepreneurial projects I'm looking into too. I'm trying to live my dream.

My new company can be found at www.vadnu.com.
