About Soren Knudsen

Clear results and a bit of joy. That\'s what Soren brings to each product, project, and company he works with. Solving business problems with new technical solutions is the common thread throughout his wisdom-building career. His inclusive, collaborative, and listening skills combined with decisive action, results focus, and business sense will quickly illustrate why he should be on your leadership team.In moving to Oregon and earning his degree in Business (marketing and management) Soren clearly understood he loved solving business problems with technology. The passion stayed with him as he consulted for IBM Global Services, developed SW applications (Symatrix Technology), and lead projects and consulting teams at Sirius Computer Solutions. In parallel to these career moves, he earned his MBA.An opportunity arose where Soren could help implement solutions for a variety of business problems from the inside of a company as CIO for Spread Trade Systems. He gained a deep understanding of what pressures SMB CIOs and IT directors face on a daily and yearly basis. The SMB CIO customer profile and mindset was what Intel was looking for in 2008, when Soren jumped on board to help a pilot project that was targeted at SMB technical leaders. From this project and others within the walls of Intel Soren has sharpened his marketing skills, and honed his business acumen, and brought many new products to market.Specialties: His current and previous co-workers will laud that Soren thrives at the intersections of: Strategy & Execution; Analytical & Persuasive; Marketing & Infrastructure; Software & Hardware; Large Enterprise & Entrepreneurial; and Hard work & Fun.He would love to expand his circle with like minded new friends.
