Rigor from academia · relevance from industry

Jonas Sveistrup Søgaard

I study how technologies such as blockchain, AI and IoT change the way organisations create value and capture new opportunities, and I build prototypes to test it.

Academia gives the work its rigor; years in consulting and industry give it relevance. PhD from Copenhagen Business School (2021), written as an industrial PhD with Deloitte and the Danish Business Authority. External lecturer at CBS since 2015, supervising theses on emerging technologies, digital transformation and design science research.
