Pernille Taarup

Pernille Taarup is a professional with a strong business acumen who focuses on helping leaders create optimal environments with clear directions and strong relationships to build a culture where innovation, questioning, expressing concerns, and admitting mistakes are encouraged in daily collaboration. By fostering this environment, everyone has the opportunity to voice their opinions and take risks, leading to improved performance.

In recent years, Pernille has taken an interest in informal leadership as organizations reduce layers of management, leading many employees to take on leadership tasks without the accompanying authority, responsibility, or decision-making power. This situation results in team leaders, coordinators, and project managers operating in a gray area between being employees and leaders, presenting intriguing challenges to address.

Pernille regularly delivers lectures on the aforementioned topics, blending research findings, theory, and insights from her extensive experience as a leader and consultant.

Her core competencies include business development, practical leadership, change management, organizational psychology, informal leadership/distributed leadership, team and leadership development, organizational culture, and strategy development and implementation.

Pernille Taarup holds a Master's degree in NLP from Performex, a Studentereksamen from Gl. Hellerup Gymnasium, a Master's degree in the Psychology of Organization from Roskilde Universitetscenter, and a Cand. jur in Law from Københavns Universitet.

Throughout her career, she has held positions such as Chefkonsulent at Dansk Erhverv, Instructor at Copenhagen Business Academy and Mannaz A/S, Owner at tactum, Ledelsesrådgiver at Nobiles, Partner at Qant, Chefkonsulent at SiriusPartner A/S, Personale- og administrationschef at Forsikring & Pension, Juridisk konsulent at Forsikring & Pension, and Forsikringsteknisk Chef at Gartnernes Forsikring GS.
