"In summary, we would describe Jes as a top-class consultant, project manager and ambassador. It has been a great pleasure to work with him on this assignment."

"Hi Jes. Really interesting meeting on Monday. I liked how you lead a client and contractor through the not so easy conversation of change. Eventually, people dared to speak freely, which doesn't happen often. Those credits lie with you. Looking forward to the following meetings."

"Jes has an outstanding technical consulting capability which is evident in his ability to win and deliver large assignments, whilst making a very substantial contribution to the business through longer-term business development and thought-leadership pieces. The quality of Jes's work is exemplary (one case being the Procurement Capability Model and associated pieces of work), and he is unusually generous and constructive in sharing this work with colleagues. He provides extremely valuable input and support to others' assignments, proposals and thought leadership, and undertakes his role in a low-key but authoritative style which instantly gains others' confidence."

"I had the pleasure to work with Jes on the transformation of our company, especially covering the cost-out sessions. It was impressive to witness his focus on results, pragmatic yet highly engaging leadership on the initiatives combined with a strong personality. His skills and experiences will contribute in any organization."

"Jes always strives to achieve the highest standards, is not afraid of confronting difficult situations and works tirelessly to produce a successful outcome. Overall, his personal and professional skills mark him out as a high achiever."

"Jes took a very proactive role in shaping and informing the content of this proposal. While I have met Jes previously when I visited Copenhagen and talked to him about his cost reduction track record, it was the proposal that provided me a good insight into the depth and quality of procurement expertise that Jes brings. Beyond the technical capabilities, what impressed me equally was his willingness to work with a very wide spread team across multiple time zones to generously offer feedback and roll up his sleeves and work the details of the approach and methodology. I would welcome for another opportunity to work with Jes."

"Jes has very strong analytical skills, natural business acumen and is focusing on the essentials. Cooperation and leadership abilities are outstanding. He possesses good teamwork and leadership qualities. As these qualities were coupled with natural self-confidence and excellent communication skills Jes was the kind of management consultant you would like to have on your team."

"I was very impressed by Jes' competence and experience in the cost reduction and procurement area. He is a true champion in this area. His presentation document and orals were convincing and he facilitated a very value adding discussion with the client, positioning us as an expert in procurement within the Energy industry. Thank you very much, I am looking forward to developing this opportunity with you."

"Reporting directly to me, Jes led our big cost-out programme across the company's value chain, which involved around 100 people (engineers, supply chain specialists and managers). Jes worked closely and tirelessly with me and the executive management also on sensitive board-level matters. In this capacity Jes acted as a trusted advisor. He has a superb ability to quickly understand key issues across the business, make things happen, and create results. With his solid background from management consulting and with an excellent eye for the change environment, Jes can head a range of strategic change initiatives. He has a motivating leadership style and has created followers from all levels and areas of our business."

"I’ve had the pleasure of working closely with Jes over the last two years. Quickly, it became clear that Jes was becoming a critical part of the company’s change process and that he possessed the experience and competencies necessary for our company’s strategic development. Through a listening, involving and conclusive behavior he quickly achieves respect and status on all employee and leadership levels. He communicates clearly, honestly and real, and therefore is one that people listens to. Jes seeks results, and through his own work discipline and precision he expresses a certain amount of impatience getting the work done. This drive is motivating and it is never on the expense of quality or of respect for the individual. All stakeholders are involved and heard. I hereby give my best recommendation."

"My impression of Jes is that he is a highly skilled person within supply chain management, cost reduction and procurement consulting. Jes stands for a spirit I like - he supports across the borders, and he is willy to invest in order to grow his field in other countries."

"I know Jes as an excellent strategy leader, both in terms of developing and executing a strategy. Jes was responsible for the strategy execution with direct reference to the CEO. I observed him take direct leadership on some of the strategic initiatives himself to improve on the execution. He orchestrated this very successfully in a challenging operating environment with many stakeholders. Jes takes lead and gets things done in an excellent manner."

"Jes has played a major part of my professional and personal development. I've learned a lot of consulting skills and been inspired by other things when working with Jes. For instance the way he communicates with clients, how he manages assignments and all the “little things”. I very much see Jes as a role model for how consultants should behave professionally. Jes sets high standards for himself, and demands the same from his team when we are on an assignment. You can tell that Jes takes a great pride in delivering a high quality piece of work for his clients. And since Jes leads by example by being dedicated to all aspects of an assignment I’m inspired to follow him into the battle. You WANT to do a good job when working with Jes."

"I know Jes as a pragmatic person with deep skills in cost reduction and effectiveness solutions. He is known to have managed complex projects resulting in high impact for his clients. He has a direct and no-nonsense leadership style and I recommend him."

"Jes provided a structured approach to making cost-out projects, which has proved to be very effective. From working with Jes, I've learned to take a step back and look at the issues in a bigger perspective before starting the work and designing the technical solution."
