He is deeply passionate about hospitality but is less than enthusiastic about its often tradition-bound, “mindless” management which nurtures inertia for change and innovation.

Simplicity, he asserts, can only be achieved by those who understand complexity. Conversely, competitive advantage can be achieved by those who solve complex problems with simplicity. His mission has earned him many awards and made him a popular speaker.

He completed hospitality management studies at Glion. After this, he attended a number of executive courses at Cornell University, the Norwegian School of Economics (NHH) and Heriot-Watt University.

Henrik truly is relentlessly curious and keen to learn different ways of thinking and doing things. He sees himself as exceptionally privileged to have ample opportunities to interact with some of the brightest minds in the industry. This lets him take part in resolving complex issues and requirements across continents.

He never stops to marvel at how things can be redesigned to help hoteliers get their daily job done in a smarter way tomorrow.

Henrik completed his B.Sc. in Hospitality Management with first-class honors from Oxford Brookes University.

It is important for us to help our customers get their “jobs” done even smarter, and sustain their performance improvement trajectories in a measurable way.
