Summary
Michael Lindahl is a product leader and operations researcher with nine years of experience turning complex resource-planning problems into practical, data-driven products. Currently Product Director at Bagstage (a Qampo spinout) and founder of FindGaven.AI, he combines mathematical optimization, AI, and product strategy to improve throughput and utilization in industries from airports to shipping. Previously VP of Analytics at Portchain, he led forecasting and automated allocation efforts that made maritime operations more predictable, efficient, and greener. He holds a PhD in Operations Research from DTU and has a track record of building optimization tools in production—from university timetabling and airport security rostering to offshore wind planning. Equally comfortable bridging research and product, he serves as an external examiner at DTU and has repeatedly spun research into commercial impact. An understated strength: he consistently embeds optimization into user workflows so sophisticated algorithms drive measurable operational KPIs rather than remain academic prototypes.
