Recommendation
“Jørgen was my team leader for 20 months maintaining Portal systems. Jørgen is an informal, calm, social and very sympathetic person that most people seams to like. He recognizes each person’s individual character and uses that knowledge in the teambuilding process. Jørgen is proactive and dedicated to his work, he is clear in his communication, agreements are kept – he is very skilled and smooth in his way of running a team. I would gladly join Jørgens team again, in future activities.”
“I worked with Jørgen for 6 months, when consulting in 2005. Jørgen was newly hired but quickly managed to establish himself as an authority and a capacity. He is friendly, constructive and effective and managed to make a difference very quickly. Jørgen is a people manager with a thorough technical background in IT. He can easily lead any team and deal with whatever problems are thrown at him. He was a pleasure to work with. I give Jørgen my warmest recommendations.”

“Jørgen Larsen is a detail oriented Team manager who doesn’t loose sight of the strategic Objective. As one of Jørgen’ previous employees I must say his door is always open for any question you or your colleagues might have, and he takes his time to help, find solutions and gives his employees responsibility. He always follows an assignment all the way and has a very good overview for things. When he sets his mind for a task he full’s it through and he is very consistent in a very good way. Jørgen keep his employees informed with things happening in the Company. He has a great sense humour. I will strongly recommend Jørgen Larsen”.
