Michael has a wealth of experience in how to scale a company fast and smart, especially on financial management, brand awareness and identity, growing customer pipeline and identifying and managing talent. He is exactly the type of experience a founder CEO wants by their side as their business starts to really grow.”

“What I simply love about Michael Jacobsen is the fact that thanks to his extremely rich experience and knowledge, his advices simply transform into tangible results for your company. During these weird times when everyone is an "expert", Michael Jacobsen proves that the business coaching is a real deal only when backed by strategic thinking, true business experience (not hype) and ability to make good choices. I strongly believe that without Michael's coaching, Vintom global expansion would be much, much slower.”
Marcin KozlowskiVice President Vintom
