Summary
Emil Jacobsen is a manager at Strategy& (PwC) with nine years of experience bridging academic research and industry to deliver data-driven strategy and AI-enabled solutions for the construction sector. He completed a PhD from Aarhus University focused on automating construction labor monitoring with wearable sensors and machine learning, authoring or co-authoring 17 academic papers and helping design new master’s courses. Emil combines hands-on technical depth from his research and international study stints (Cambridge, Melbourne) with consulting practice, translating complex sensor and ML research into actionable business insights. Based in Aarhus, he’s equally comfortable supervising student projects as he is advising clients on digital construction transformations, and—despite a self-deprecating GitHub bio—brings a researcher’s rigor and a consultant’s pragmatism to problem solving.
