Hans Kirkegaard

As an entrepreneurial executive-level professional specializing in sales, business development, finance and operations, I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience across various industries in maximizing revenue opportunities, building long-standing client relationships, and creating, implementing, integrating and achieving strategic plans. In my broad experience, I have led high-performing teams to produce results for a large, publicly traded company as well as small- and medium-sized businesses. I strategically acquired three competitive companies in 2006, 2007 and 2015, increasing the company’s impact and business capacity. Following 15 years of ownership, I sold the company to a strategic buyer in 2021. Following the successful exit, I joined a SaaS startup and led a business operating system implementation and integration for 8 months.Having owned a family business, I have the breadth of experience and knowledge to help entrepreneurs, small- and medium-sized businesses tackle their most pressing challenges. My calm, thoughtful and planned approach resonates with internal teams and C-suite alike.I have been very involved within the Milwaukee community, serving on private company advisory boards, non-profit boards, and international industry association boards, including serving on the executive committees of each. Some of the achievements in these endeavors include raising over $150,000 and leading an organization from an annual budget of $5 million to $25 million during my 11-year board tenure.
