About Soren Bested
I am passionate about launching and scaling transformative businesses, particularly in digital transformation, mobile and online banking, customer engagement, payments, and the strategic deployment of AI. My approach focuses on deeply understanding customer needs and translating those insights into seamless experiences for both clients and service providers.As a business leader, I believe that building a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) should go hand-in-hand with securing the first client before scaling through direct sales and strategic partnerships. My journey typically begins by defining product propositions and go-to-market strategies, where I’ve honed in key roles such as Chief Product Officer and Chief Revenue Officer. As companies scale, I expand my focus to oversee critical areas such as sales, customer success, operations, finance, legal, and HR, leveraging my experience as Chief Operating Officer and General Manager.Before relocating to the San Francisco Bay Area, I co-founded and developed several businesses across Australia, Southeast Asia, Europe, and the US. I hold a Master of Science in Chemical Engineering from the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) and an MBA from the National University of Singapore (NUS). Additionally, I participated in the prestigious Global Leadership Fellows Program at the World Economic Forum.
