HEINE KROG IVERSEN Heine Krog Iversen is the founder and CEO of TimeXtender. As chief executive for more than 12 years, Heine has transformed TimeXtender from a small startup to one of the fastest growing private software companies in the world. He oversees strategic planning, global outreach, positioning and differentiation, and organizational growth. Heine has worked tirelessly to manage the company’s fast growth through the expansion of new offices and staff in various global regions, building a global network of channel partners, and servicing more than 3,000 customers worldwide. He has played an instrumental role as an industry thought leader to educate the business community about how to best manage a corporate data estate. His professional mission is to empower every person in every organization with instant access to data to enable them to achieve more by making quality decisions with data, mind and heart. He maintains that businesses can free up time and energy throughout their organization, allowing them to dedicate their workforce to greater innovation, purposeful growth and game- changing breakthroughs. Heine argues that data is the most valuable currency, but only if available at the right time with proper quality. He believes that superior business decisions cannot be made by data alone, but that all relevant data should be available whenever a decision needs to be made. He advocates that although data is collected based on historical information, there is still the inherent need to combine this data with strategy, knowledge of new inventions, and often a strong “hunch,” typically derived from experience and knowledge. With this dynamic combination, businesses can then make strategic decisions to transform their corporation. He’s been published extensively, spoken at numerous conference and seminars, and is regularly looked upon for his insights.
