Tomas M. Krogh
Fractional Chief Commercial Officer
I specialize in taking founder-led commercial engines apart until only the parts that work are left standing. Before advising, I operated-scaling a business from zero to the FT1000 list three years running and facilitating 10 billion DKK in property transactions. I don't write polite advisory decks; I give you the exact commercial reality check you need before an investment committee does it for you.
