Verner Kristiansen is a confident moderator with an overview from start to finish – and the energy to listen along the way. This contributes to lively events with engaged participants. To achieve this, clarifying the purpose and expectations of organizers and participants is the focus of Verner’s thorough preparations, ensuring a common thread throughout the event.

Verner holds a master’s degree in communication and development (1992) and has worked as a campaign manager for UNICEF and as a Danish diplomat, with postings in Germany and the UK. He has also worked for the Confederation of Danish Industry and the think tank Monday Morning. In his consultancy business since 2007, he has drawn on extensive experience in politics, development and communication. A total of nine years working outside Denmark means that today he is just as happy leading meetings in Danish and German as in English.

Special focus
Moderation with targeted involvement of participants is typical of Verner’s way of working. Content and form must match the purpose of the event. His style is disciplined and yet unpretentious. He draws on his extensive experience in leading the self-evaluations that are part of larger organizational analyses, but also meetings and conferences where clients ask for assistance in organizing the programme and process. Verner has a healthy curiosity that is especially awakened by topics such as:

• Denmark in the world – Nordic cooperation, European integration, development
• Green transition – citizen involvement and sustainability dialog in practice
• Business development – product development, innovation and employee engagement
• Civil society – human rights, equality, integration and rights
• Culture – business models, funding mechanisms and leadership development

You will meet
A well-prepared and responsive moderator who engages participants throughout the event and keeps energy levels up to achieve the purpose of the event.
