partner & chairman
MICHAEL INGEMANN
DANISH BORN, LONDON BASED & GLOBALLY EXPERIENCED
​
I have a deep and extensive experience leading and improving businesses across Europe. Working hands-on with investors and management teams in the food and hospitality sectors on developing ambitious but achievable strategies, and then getting all the business elements right for executing the plans and achieving the goals.
​
After completing my MBA from Dartmouth College in the US, I spent a number of years with the consulting firm McKinsey & Company, as founder/CEO of technology firms in Scandinavia and the UK, and working withh private equity firms across Europe.
​
I'm the chairman, director or advisor of a number of restaurants (from casual to Michelin starred), food, tech and communications companies in the UK, Scandinavia, the US & South America, giving me unique perspectives on what works and what doesn't - and a deep respect for the unique qualities and challenges of each individual business.
