Rune Jacobsen is a senior category manager in Copenhagen with 13 years of commercial and category management experience across IT, retail and B2B channels. He has a proven track record of driving growth and profitability through strategic sourcing, partner development and negotiated vendor terms, most recently shaping Atea Denmark’s category strategy for digital workplace solutions. Comfortable bridging sales, procurement and stakeholder management, Rune has repeatedly turned underperforming areas into growth engines and managed multi-million DKK P&Ls. He pairs formal business education (HD(A) in Marketing Management) with hands-on leadership developed through years of store and team management at TDC. Unusually for a commercial leader, he also contributes to open-source projects—improving core Puppet and Erlang template tooling—demonstrating technical curiosity and attention to detail that informs data-driven sourcing decisions. Colleagues value him for pragmatic strategy execution and an ability to translate supplier partnerships into measurable commercial outcomes.
