Erlend Asker

Erlend has led organisations of up to 1,000 people and P&Ls up to €200M, at companies like Software AG, Sun Microsystems and Sybase. These days he does something quieter and harder: he helps leaders see the thing they're too close to see, then builds a way through it.

His work starts with a diagnostic, not a pitch. Sit with the team, document the real current state, hand back the options and the steps to get there.

Clients tend to say the same thing about him: he builds trust across international teams fast, and he challenges them in the right ways. He's as comfortable with a CEO's first 90 days as with a team that's quietly stopped functioning.
