With 27 years of experience in management and education, Søren began as a mathematician and later became an automation engineer, securing his first role as CTO at age 26. In 1999, he transitioned to Folkecenter for Renewable Energy, where he taught engineering internationally and tested wave power for the Danish government. His focus since has been renewable energy development.

Over the past seven years, Søren has contributed to the national curriculum for the electricity industry at Herningsholm Erhvervsskole, covering solar cells, wind turbines, and batteries. He has also mentored sociology students at Århus University and collaborated with the Nordic Council on Arctic renewable energy projects involving Svalbard and Greenland. Through international teaching, he has built an extensive network of industry leaders.

Søren is a trained automation engineer, with expertise in HR management, sociology, and teaching, alongside officer-level management training from the army. A self-taught computer expert, he spends his free time developing software for electric vehicles (e.g., Renault and Tesla) or creating innovative solutions to support organic gardening with his family.
