Why Panum.eu exists
Panum.eu is built by a leader, not by a consultancy. That is the shortest explanation of why we place executives with a mandate rather than deliver recommendations.
About us
Panum.eu was founded and is run by Jens Panum Have, CEO, with a background as an officer in the armed forces and more than 20 years of leadership experience from Danish and international companies. We place experienced leaders with full decision-making authority — and we decline assignments where interim is not the answer.
A company in a critical situation rarely has time for a recruitment process. A key person leaves, or a major transformation has to be executed, and experienced leadership is needed now. Our experience is that the right solution is rarely found quickly enough.
Panum.eu was founded to close that gap. Companies should be able to access experienced leadership and specialist capability exactly when the need arises, not three months later.
“I have seen again and again how much value it creates when a company gains the right experience quickly. And how expensive it becomes when it does not.”
Jens Panum Have, CEO
The background we build on
Jens Panum Have has a background as an officer in the armed forces and more than 20 years of leadership experience from the top of Danish and international companies. The core areas are strategy, supply chain management, optimisation and change management.
The military background is not decoration on a CV. Discipline, clear accountability and the ability to keep perspective under pressure are precisely what an organisation lacks when something has gone wrong and decisions cannot wait.
Why we work the way we do
We match on situational experience, not on CV titles. The mandate is defined in writing before the executive starts, so decision-making authority is in place from day one.
And we decline. Interim management is not the answer to everything, and an assignment that does not fit the model does not improve by us taking it on. See when we decline.

Are you facing a situation where leadership is missing? A 20-minute conversation is usually enough to assess whether interim is the right answer, and whether we are the right partner.
