Hi,
My name is Lars Lehne
I am a highly accomplished global board executive with a proven track record in driving revenue growth, leading organizational transformation, and developing high-performing teams. My expertise spans digital (Google), media (GroupM), and advertising, with a focus on strategy, M&A, investor relations, and international market expansion. I consistently deliver exceptional results in highly competitive, fast-paced environments.
Leveraging 30 years of experience, I am now committed to sharing my insights after the successful sale of my previous company (Incubeta), choosing a path focused on empowering others rather than immediately re-entering the corporate world. I am passionate about scaling businesses and building winning teams, finding significant fulfillment in applying my knowledge across diverse organizations and cultures to help them accelerate growth, overcome challenges, and achieve success, especially during difficult times.
