The worst advice I’ve ever been given: ‘Age is everything’. It came from a boss when I was 23.
Looking back today, I actually think it was the most important advice I’ve ever been given.
Talent 100
It was one of the reasons I threw myself into life as an entrepreneur and started Webamp, and it also reminded me what kind of leadership I wanted to stand for.
- Hiring for motivation and drive, not for age or the fanciest CV.
- Trusting my employees and giving them the room they each need to grow.
- Putting my employees just as high on the list as our clients.
That’s why it’s a huge honour to be named in the Berlingske Talent 100 for 2021. It’s recognition that my mantra holds true.
A huge thank you to Per Skov for the kind words and the inspiring mentorship, to my fantastic team at Webamp and to everyone who has supported me along the way.
