velkommen til mit område her på frank4u.dk

jeg hedder Mads og det er mig der er hovedarkitekten bag dette site.

formentlig er du en del af vores familie eller vennekreds så jeg håber at du har været lidt rundt og kigge. Skulle du være ny på dette site vil jeg her bruge lidt tid på at fortælle en lille smule om mig selv.

Jeg er født nytårsaften 1975 på Sct. Josef Hospital i København. Min mor og far havde kort tid forinden købt hus i Søvang i Dragør på Amager men som det så oftest sker valgte de at gå fra hinanden kort tid efter jeg blev født. Jeg flyttede således sammen med min mor i lejlighed i Kastrup tæt på lufthavnen hvor vi boede indtil jeg var 12 år gammel. Vi har altid boet eller haft tilknytning til Amager og jeg har svært ved at se mig selv bo andre steder.

Sct. Annæ Skole anno 2007 Som 7 årig startede jeg i skole på Sct. Annæ skole på Amager (http://www.sanktannaeskole.dk/) hvor jeg gik indtil 7 klasse. Sct. Annæ skole er en katolsk privat skole som jeg ikke er et øjeblikket i tvivl om har været den primære årsag til at jeg har udviklet mig som jeg har.

Sct. Annæ var en fantastisk skole der den gang holdt godt fast i traditioner og disciplin hvilket jeg som voksen har lært at sætte stor pris på.
Selvfølgelig var det ikke altid lige sjovt skulle deltage i morgensang eller stå op bag stolene når pastor Fuglebæk kom ind til time men jeg er 100% overbevist om at det har været en rigtig god dannelsesprocess ikke blot for mig men for alle fra min årgang (jeg ser stadig nogen få af mine gamle klassekammerater - eksempelvis min ven gennem 25 år Daniel). Når dette er sagt var det på mange måder en skole som alle andre - dvs. med rig mulighed for fis og ballade og alt det der  
My mom and I moved to Nuuk, Greenland (http://www.nuuk.gl) in 1988 where I basically grew up and went to high school (http://www.gu-nuuk.gl).

Although I haven’t been in Greenland since 2002 this beautiful country still have a very special place in my heart and I often think back on my youth in Nuuk as a wonderful time. Once in while I see myself moving back on day but not in the near future.

In 1995 I enrolled on Copenhagen Business School (http://www.cbs.dk) where I studied HA.dat computer science and business administration (http://www.cbs.dk/uddannelser/bachelor/bacheloruddannelser/ha_dat) also called DOEK (http://www.doek.dk/) . I graduated with my bachelor degree in 1998 where I wrote my thesis .. management in IT organizations.

After I graduated I felt an urge to get a job where I could use my theoretical knowledge from School. Although I worked parallel with my studies as an IT manager and developer at a small consulting firm I felt that I needed to move on into a bigger organization. As such I started to work with Siemens Nixdorf - later Siemens Business Services and now Siemens (http://www.siemens.dk) as a systems development trainee within Siemens SAP consulting services where I was trained as a SAP programmer and basis consultant.

In 1999 I started to work with data warehousing as I was a part of Siemens initiative to be first movers on the SAP data warehouse technology SAP Business Warehouse - today called SAP NetWeaver BI - and at the same time I decided to complete my candidate degree at CBS. My time in Siemens was a truly great time which basically provided me with the professional capabilities which I have build my carear on. As such I enjoyed my time in Siemens and have some of my best friends from that time – among these Morten, Olaf and Peter. However I have to admit that when I enrolled with Platon A/S in 2002 it was the best professional decision I have made in my life.

Platon is the leading information management consulting firm in Scandinavia and has developed from just 3 employees in 1998 to over 150 employees today represented in more than 6 different locations in Scandinavia and northern Europe.

In 2002 Platon was in the middle of a great expansion and as a part of this focusing on recruiting competence to introduce and build SAP competences in Platon. As such I was contacted by a headhunter who introduced me to Platon and our CEO Michael, and it didn't take me very long to decide that this was how I wanted to pursue my carear.

I enrolled with Platon (http://www.platon.net) 1st of April 2002 where my primary task was to establish a solid foundation on which we could build a focused SAP center of competence, introduce the technical know-how, kick-start recruitment and most importantly of all brand Platon as a player in the SAP BI market. Today we are a total of 12+ employees working with all parts of the so called SAP Netweaver application platform and I act as consulting manager for our technical resources.

Although I used to have a very technical profile today my primary interest is more management related. I aim to keep our SAP related center of competence and activities aligned with Paton’s overall strategy and view on information management as well as the ongoing development of our employees within the SAP Netweaver center of competences. I still however work regularly with the technical SAP skills which we cover in Platon including SAP NW-BI, SAP NW-MDM, SAP NW-PI, SAP NW-Portals and core SAP as well as the general disciplines of data warehousing including DW architecture/design, ETL and IM project management and account management.

In my spare time I have one major passion. I love football (soccer) and my passion is primarily aim at FC Copenhagen (http://www.fck.dk) and Liverpool FC (http://www.liverpollfc.tv) although I in general try to see as many games as possible regardless of the teams playing. I’m guaranteed to be in the audience when FC Copenhagen is playing at home as I have a reserved seat at Parken Stadium (http://www.parken.dk) – the home ground of FCC.

Besides football I love politics and enjoy following public debates and discussions as well as I love to study religion.

I’m very much a traditional guy. My family has always been very focused on traditions and we are all religious in a very relaxed way. For years I have considered myself as a liberal idealist (http://www.venstre.dk) meaning that I truly believe that man must be allowed to take care of his own life and say what he/she thinks or believes in but at the same time are obligated to fight egoism and nepotism and prejudice for all cost. The idealist in me believes that we could make the world a far better place if we all for just a few minutes every day could put aside our urges to make a good life for ourselves and instead dedicated our resources to think of the man next to us.

Once again thanks for your interest in my site here at frank4u.dk. Besides this site a have my profile at MySpace on http://www.myspace.com/franke4u and at facebook at http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=588679515. Please feel free to come and viste me there.

Take care…
