Carsten Sjoerup reposted thisCarsten Sjoerup reposted thisThe Fourth Repower Charity Dinner in Stockholm It wasn’t just a dinner. It was a moment of connection — between Sweden and Ukraine, between those who needed help and those who chose to give it. Thanks to your support, Repower has already helped over 900 military medics recover — to rest, to breathe, and to return to saving lives. These are people who face war every day — and still choose to protect others. Every project, every person we support — happens because people like you stood with us. Because you chose to act. That evening was also about what truly connects us — our humanity, and the love we carry in our hearts. That night, the Ukrainian song sounded louder — because you were there. And with you, the voice of hope keeps resonating. This dinner was our most ambitious yet: the most iconic venue we’ve ever had Vasa Museum, twice as many guests, and more moving parts than ever before. It wasn’t easy — but thanks to the incredible support and collaboration with our partners Nordic Ukraine Forum Ivan Sivakov Alina Zubkovych , Quartermaster For Ukraine Jonas Rydin, Racimo, and SET Catering, we made it happen together. And a special thanks to WebPros Carsten Sjoerup, who joined less than a week before the event and gave us a powerful last-minute boost. Your support meant the world. And to apotea.se — thank you for the unexpected surprise, your constant presence, and unwavering belief in what we do. To everyone who joined us — thank you. To the volunteers, to the teams who offered special prices or provided equipment for free — your help was truly priceless. Thank you for standing with us.

Carsten Sjoerup liked thisCarsten Sjoerup liked thisMost of the year, we meet across the table. This morning, we sat on the same side of it. Together with other Danish law firms, we hosted a breakfast in Copenhagen for managing partners from around the world, gathered for the IBA Annual Conference. We may compete for the same clients and the same talent, and our legal traditions and business models may differ. Yet the questions around the tables were strikingly similar: how to attract and develop the next generation of lawyers, what AI means for the work we do, and how to maintain the trust on which the legal system depends. None of these questions belongs to a single firm. Competition keeps us sharp, but responsibility for the integrity of legal advice and for confidence in the rule of law is something we share. It is good to be reminded of that over coffee rather than across a negotiating table. Thank you to everyone involved for co-hosting and for helping welcome our international managing-partner colleagues to Copenhagen.

Carsten Sjoerup liked thisCarsten Sjoerup liked thisI may be the CEO of an American company Proteus International I may live in the UK. I may carry a British passport. I may be married to a Portuguese husband. I may be 67% Italian, 39% Asian and only 3% French based on my DNA test And I may have left France more than 26 years ago to travel the world. But when Les Bleus play, something in me is still very French. ALLEZ LES BLEUS!!! Watching Kylian Mbappé captain France in this World Cup has made me think a lot about leadership. Of course, the numbers are extraordinary. 7 goals, 2 assists in this tournament 19 World Cup goals overall. Captain of one of the most talented teams in the world. But what strikes me most is not only that Mbappé steps up when France needs him. It is that he creates the conditions for others to step up too. Ousmane Dembélé has 4 goals already, including a brilliant hat-trick. And Mbappé has not made this World Cup about his personal records. He has kept bringing the conversation back to the team, the mission, the next opponent, the collective progress. That is real leadership. And it is exactly the same lesson for CEOs. A CEO must be able to “score” when the organization needs clarity, courage, or a decisive move. But the best CEOs are not trying to be the only scorer. They build a system where others can shine. They absorb pressure without making it about themselves. They lower their status to give confidence to the team. They know when to take the shot, and when to pass the ball. They make the mission bigger than the ego. Leadership is not the armband. It is what you do with the armband. Mbappé has grown into that role beautifully: ambitious, visible, accountable and increasingly selfless. That is the kind of leadership every executive team needs. Not a hero. A captain. Where in your leadership do you need to score and where do you need to create more space for others to shine?

Carsten Sjoerup liked thisCarsten Sjoerup liked thisRaising the game in the Agentic Era: Three key questions that Nordic brands need to ask themselves now… This week I had the pleasure of speaking at both WPP's NextM in Stockholm and at Dansk Erhvervs Handlens Årsdag, and one thing is crystal clear: We in the Nordics need to raise our game to meet the moment in this fast-paced, AI-powered and agentic era. Agents are making AI much more accessible and useful for all of us in our daily lives. Consumers are becoming ‘super-powered’ with our own personal agents and we are becoming used to intelligent and agentic interactions. I had three main observations - and questions: ⭐ The "Agent-to-Agent Handshake": For a consumer agent to talk to a business agent, they need a common language. That language is already being spoken in retail through the Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP). Google launched UCP together with major players like Visa, Mastercard, Walmart, etc. in the US back in January this year, and many others have since adopted it. Is your brand ready for UCP? ⭐ The Rise of the Super-Powered Consumer: When consumers can build their own personal agents to handle their research, budgeting, and logistics, the consumers become super-empowered. I have my own shopping agent which holds all relevant info about me - my measurements, my favorite brands, my loyalty cards, etc. And now she can actually take action for me. She can talk to the different brand agents, negotiate a price based on my loyalty status, and execute a secure payment - without my involvement. I have just given her a goal. Are your brand's digital interfaces ready for an "agent-first" visitor? ⭐ Building Brand Equity with Humans, Agents, and the Models (LLMs): To succeed in this era, you still need to win the hearts and minds of the human. But it’s equally important to ensure that the agents and the models also 'get' your brand. If the agents and the models don't understand your brand because of incomplete data, fragmented product feeds, or a lack of rich visual/video assets, you risk being invisible to a large part of your existing and potential customers. Have you future-proofed your brand's discoverability? The shift for 2026 is clear: AI is moving from back-end efficiency with focus on cost reductions to front-end engagement with focus on innovation and top-line growth. And we need a renewed focus on the front-end in the Nordics - and in Europe - to ensure that we stay competitive in an increasingly competitive world where Chinese and American players are leaning into AI and the Agentic era a lot faster and more fundamentally than we are. We - Europe - can absolutely own the Agentic Era. But we have to lean in now and ensure we have a strategy for becoming ‘agent ready’. Many thanks to Jonas Hemmingsen & Team for an extraordinary NextM event - and Brian Mikkelsen & Team for a phenomenal Handlens Årsdag. #AgenticEra #NextM2026 #DanskErhverv #UCP #FutureOfCommerce #Google #NordicRetail

Carsten Sjoerup liked thisCarsten Sjoerup liked thisAnd just like that… CloudFest 2026 is over 🙂 A few highlights from this year: 1, The WebPros Cloud Pavilion was huge. Like you-can’t-miss-it-even-if-you-try huge. Massive credit to the GTM team for pulling off something truly outstanding. 2, It’s a pretty turbulent world right now. And yet people still made the trip..from Ukraine, Israel, UAE and beyond.. just to talk domains and hosting. Christian Jaeger that's some serious commitment 💪 3, The sessions were great with a clear theme: AI is reshaping everything. My personal highlight was Andrew Simpson's session on hosting trends seen through domain names. Early signals show that domains built using AI-native development platforms are seeing higher renewal rates, which is a pretty interesting shift in online presence behavior. Also really enjoyed the session from Jesse A. and Sameer Thakar showcasing how WebPros has integrated VERISIGN’s NameStudio API with WHMCS and cPanel. 4, There’s a lot of interest and good feedback around WebPros Cloud. Which means… dear cloud engineering team...the next few quarters are about to get very busy (Stuart Wallace 😉) Already looking forward to next year, and let’s see what AI reinvents by then.

Carsten Sjoerup liked thisCarsten Sjoerup liked this🏃♂️ Yesterday I beat my marathon personal best by 30minutes. Running it made me realize it’s basically the same as running a data & AI team (not really...). Here’s why ⬇️ 🤡 🍬 You get to eat a mountain of sweets guilt‑free just to get going, because it’s suddenly called fuel and nobody questions it. 💦 Doing weird things like pouring water all over your head mid‑activity? Not weird at all. People cheer even louder! 😤 Making strange, borderline alarming noises? Totally acceptable. Everyone around you is doing it too. 🤖 There’s always that one runner in a ridiculous costume somehow outpacing you - like that AI analyst - feels off but somehow finishes faster than expected. 💀 At some point you seriously ask yourself why you’re even doing this, but the moment you cross the finish line 🏁, you’re already thinking about the next one! 🤣 Seriously, what is it with these post where doing *anything* ends up “feeling like" running a team, a project, or delivering a feature. Come on, we all post here mostly to show off in one way or the other 💅 So why just not be open about it? #CorporateSatire #HumilityBrag #CracoviaMarathon

Carsten Sjoerup liked thisCarsten Sjoerup liked thisStanding in line at a theme park with my children can feel like luxury. Waiting outside a luxury store does not. Today, I found myself thinking that not all waiting feels the same. Standing in line for a ride with my children is not necessarily comfortable. But it is shared time, anticipation, and an experience we are having together. In that sense, even waiting can hold something valuable. It feels very different when people have to wait outside a luxury store just to be allowed in. In luxury, not only the product should matter, but also the quality of the experience before, during, and after it. Scarcity and queues can create desirability and exclusivity. But they do not automatically create luxury. Because luxury is not only expressed in the product itself, but also in the quality of the experience and in whether people feel welcomed and valued. To me, that is exactly where an important distinction becomes visible, and one worth thinking about more carefully. #SilentLuxury #LuxuryThinking #CustomerExperience #NOLESS #ModernLuxury

So yes, while the world does its thing…I’ll be heading to CloudFest 2026 too. :) You’ll find me and my fantastic colleagues from WebPros at the WebPros Pavilion - which is huge and absolutely incredible this year.

Carsten Sjoerup liked thisCarsten Sjoerup liked thisUntil recently I didn't care about it at all, but once I looked under the hood, I coulnd't stop staring - in awe 😳 At the Warsaw AI Summit, I’ll take a step back from models and talk about the hardware landscape powering today’s AI boom: GPUs and the highly global, federated global supply chain behind them. I'll cover: - What “fabless” really means, and why NVIDIA doesn’t manufacture its own chips - How extreme specialization won: from ASML and TSMC to SK hynix and Supermicro - Why compute is no longer the bottleneck, and why memory and optics will dominate the hardware conversation in 2026 Come say hi 👋 if you will be there too!
