Preben Damgaard
Preben Damgaard has been a pioneer in tech ever since the birth of the industry in the early 1980s. At age 20 Preben co-founded Damgaard Data in 1983 with his older brother Erik. The two grew the company to become a leader in the market for ERP software to small and medium sized enterprises and brought Damgaard Data to a successful IPO on NASDAQ OMX in 1999. In 2000 they merged with Navision Software, and less than two years later, in 2002, Navision was acquired by Microsoft for $1.45B. Preben was appointed Executive Vice President of Microsoft Business Solutions in EMEA and stayed there until founding Damgaard Company in 2003.
With a long career as entrepreneur and CEO Preben has gained deep and extensive practical experience that he leverages in his current venture as VC investor, business angel and professional board member. Preben continues to expand and develop his expertise, making him an invaluable business partner for the winners of tomorrow.
