    • “The impact Lars had on The LEGO Group`s social media can never be fully measured, from having no Facebook page to one of the most loved brands on social media. His leadership was second to none with an unbelievable sense for what would be important in the future and where the focus of the social media team should be. Lars was never shy of making decisions and communicating these to his team in a clear, simple and understandable way, making sure his teams understood and stood by the decisions for the good of the company. He was always ready to give his input even on small matters but was not afraid to trust you with decisions yourself, leaving space to shine or to fail and learn. I can not express enough how lucky I was to have worked with Lars and can take these many learnings to the next adventure.The impact Lars had on The LEGO Group`s social media can never be fully measured, from having no Facebook page to one of the most loved brands on social media.

    • “I have had a privilege of working with Lars for over 3 years at LEGO Group. It has been an absolute blast of a Social Media journey. Lars is an outstanding leader, who has continuously demonstrated a unique blend of both extensive knowledge, digital ‘sixth sense’ and a wider outlook of the industry. It has been a great pleasure to work in the international, multicultural team, led by Lars, feeling as a ‘one’ strong unit, working on achieving one mutual goal. Lars’s leadership style leaves a lot of trust in the hands of his team members, providing opportunities for self-expression and being able to think outside of the box, which is not normally the case, in the context of global, corporate companies. I would strongly recommend Lars as a world-class inspirational speaker and one of a kind team leader!”

    • “Having worked with Lars over the last couple of years at the LEGO Group I can say he's been a fantastic and inspiring leader and all round top boss. Pivotal in driving the social media agenda within LEGO he built the department from a small group to a global team spanning three time zones and working on multitudes of projects. A major part in bringing LEGO's social media offering not only into the 21st century, but up to being one of the global leaders in innovation and story telling, i'm sure he'll continue doing more of the same.”
