Meet Thor Bang-Ellingsen

Partner, Head of Norway

Thor joined Prokura after earning a master’s degree in accounting and finance at Copenhagen Business School, and the firm’s focus on procurement and supply chain was a big draw. “I saw how important procurement was when I was working during my studies,” he says. “You know, if you don’t have any goods, you can’t sell any goods—it’s a very big part of being able to run a business.”

“One of my main motivations is to help companies change and improve. There’s something about helping to close the gaps and doing things better that is really satisfying.”
