Jesper Mosegaard, PhD
18. October 1979
About
I’m an experienced leader and software developer with a strong passion for interactive, visual, and highly efficient software. I hold a PhD in Computer Science (2006), an Executive Education from Harvard Business School (2014), and I’ve completed the Stifinder leadership course (2022). My core values include impact, trust, and joy.
I have deep dived into 3D rendering, GPU computing, medical image analysis, physics simulations, VR/AR, and massive data visualization. I have build large scale web applications, professional desktop programs, as well as mobile apps. I have led teams of developers, researchers, UX/UI design, and QA.
I love software, research and cutting edge technology. But people matter even more to me. I want to understand what users need and why. I want my teams to enjoy creating exceptional results, and to do so efficiently. I lead with empathy, honesty and a deep technical knowledge. I’ve been leading teams remotely since 2010. I thrive in environments high on ambition and trust.
