About
Jesper Kjerside
Strategy adviser, writer and co-founder of taonta and fastland.
Jesper Kjerside has spent approximately three decades advising leaders on complex strategy, transaction and transformation decisions. Most recently, he was a Senior Partner at Oliver Wyman, responsible for the Nordic Private Equity and M&A business. Previously, he was a Partner and Managing Director at BCG and a Partner at Qvartz. His earlier career included McKinsey.
His work has spanned Europe and North America. His professional scope includes private equity, financial services, insurance, software, technology and business services.
Today, his work and writing bring together three long-standing interests: macroeconomic transitions and industrial revolutions; the efficiency and efficacy of production systems; and the sociology and psychology of individual and collective intelligence.
With Søren Aggerholm, he co-founded taonta (launching soon), an AI-native strategy consulting firm, and fastland (launching soon), the AI-native tech and IP company behind it all.
The thread through the work
Three enduring interests.
Production systems
How work is assessed for efficiency and efficacy, then redesigned.
Collective intelligence
How individuals, groups and artificial systems think and decide together.
