In Leadership Weekly we recently have elected Knut Arild as Board Chair for an additional 2-year period. Being a start up with gazelle-ambitions, Leadership Weekly needs the advantages from an experienced and engaged Board to fulfill our growth- and profit expectations. As Chairman of the Board, Knut Arild ensures sufficient focus on business priorities, and executes the Board work in a strategic, structured and professional manner. Knut Arild has a highly business oriented mindset, a good analytical overview and excellent insights in B2B sales. Leadership Weekly benefits from both his passion, competence and network, and his ability to create a constructive atmosphere for good discussions and decision-making.

I have had the pleasure of working with Knut Arild on two occasions, last time as my direct manager in Lindbak Retail Systems. He is a truly business-oriented manager that is able both to analyze and communicate the current state of the business, create a shared understanding of the required strategic path moving forward and, equally important, have shown that he is also the strong leader that ensures execution. His integrity is unimpeachable, whether seen from the perspective of his colleagues, strategic business partners, vendors or customers. He builds his relationships based on honesty, professionalism and true business value. He prefers to regard his customers as strategic partners with whom he can build long-term, mutually benefiting and prosperous partnerships. As a manager, he sets clear expectations and will always be available to consult and give guidance, if asked for or required. I give Knut Arild my highest recommendation.

I worked very close with Knut-Arild at my time at EG. My impression is that Knut-Arild is a high-performance Sales Director that pushed his sales team to deliver but at the same time was very liked by all Sales people in his team and other colleges within EG. Knut-Arild have a very good understanding of the competitive IT landscape, competitors and customers. He knows what to do to develop a new market including business development, marketing and building strategic partnerships with leading vendors. I highly recommend Knut-Arild to anyone interested in his services.
