Thomas Poulsen is a strategic technology and public-sector leader with nine years of senior-focused experience and a 20+-year career guiding transformation in government, consulting, and healthcare organizations. As Head of Public Services at Capgemini and former COO of the Danish Innovation Center in Silicon Valley, he blends executive strategy, cross-border innovation, and hands-on tech leadership to modernize complex institutions. Trained as a mathematician who codes in R and Julia, he brings analytical rigor and an affinity for biotechnology use-cases to policy and service design. His background spans enterprise risk, management consulting, and accelerator advisory, enabling him to translate regulatory and operational constraints into pragmatic digital roadmaps. Based in Copenhagen and holding executive education from Copenhagen Business School, he is known for connecting Scandinavian public values with Silicon Valley tools and startup mindsets.
