About Birgitte Thorup

I’ve always been called in when leadership truly mattered – during times of growth, crisis, mergers and cultural transformation. That’s no coincidence.

With over 20 years of experience across both private companies and public organizations, I’ve held seniorleadership and development roles in companies such as RSA/Codan, Shell International and PostNord – and supported international topmanager’s and senior leaders and key decision-makers in organizations like Danske Bank, Deloitte, Novo Nordisk, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and several regional and national institutions.

I’ve been consistently brought in as a strategic problem-solver when organizations faced complexity – helping executive teams align culture with strategy and engage people across all levels of the organization.

Areas of expertise
• Strategy implementation with people at the center
• Executive coaching based on the Intelligent Leadership® method
• Inclusive leadership, cultural transformation and team maturity
• Psychological safety, emotional intelligence and decision-making without bias

Vision
I envision a world where leadership is not about control – but about clarity, courage and connection. Where organizations thrive because people feel safe to think, speak and grow.

Mission
My mission is to help leaders unlock their full potential, transform their teams and build sustainable, inclusive cultures – through Intelligent Leadership® and the power of human connection.

I help leaders and organizations who want more than good intentions.

I’ve always worked where change requires more than a plan – where leadership takes courage, meaning and a human connection.
