Shortlist

Rasmus Ankersen is a bestselling author, entrepreneur, speaker on performance development and a trusted advisor to businesses and athletes around the world.

Since his appointment as co-director of football at Brentford FC, Rasmus has been fundamental in the introduction of a new mindset, built around the use of big data to drive decision making, and resulted in promotino to the Premier League - the first time in Brentford's 74 year history, and making them the 50th club to play in the elite league.

This success has brought a new new gravitas to Rasmus's speaking, teaching organisations how contemporary thinking on talent identification and development, disruption and sustaining success, can take them to new heights and inspire them to lead their markets in a way they never have before. 
 
In 2012 Rasmus published The Gold Mine Effect, in which he explores how some countries and cities develop a disproportionate amount of top talent.

In 2016 Rasmus published Hunger in Paradise: a book about how successful organisations can remain successful by eliminating complacency.

Rasmus is also the chairman of FC Midtjylland, his childhood football club in Denmark, and a director of the English club Brentford FC. Both are known as some of the world’s most innovative football clubs, especially recognised for their use of big data to drive decision-making.

Over the past few years, Rasmus has been hired to share his research on high performance cultures by global brands like LEGO, Google, Boston Consulting Group, IKEA, Google, Facebook, Hitachi, Roche, Ernst & Young and many more.
