ABOUT ME

MEET THE FOUNDER

Hello, I'm Mie Torp Hansen, the founder of NYA Consultant. I originally hail from the picturesque town of Svendborg in Denmark, but my journey has taken me from the tranquil shores of my hometown to the boundless horizons of the world.

A Unique Work Experience

My professional journey has been anything but average. At just 19 years old, I took a unique path by starting as a trainee officer on a Mærsk containership, one of the world's largest shipping companies. It was a demanding but transformative experience, made even more unique as I was the only woman among 35 men. This early experience not only sharpened my skills but also taught me about team-work and the importance of adaptability in diverse and challenging environments.

However, my fascination with understanding markets, businesses, and financial systems eventually led me in a different direction. I chose to study Economics, which provided me with a solid foundation for comprehending the complexities of the economic landscape.

After completing my studies, I joined Nordea, Scandinavia's largest bank, just before the economic crisis of 2008. During my time at Nordea, I had the privilege of working closely with McKinsey & Company in what was known as the Strategic Development Team. This experience offered me a comprehensive skillset in strategic development and corporate transformation during a period of significant economic turmoil.

Following that, I transitioned into the world of management consulting at PwC. Here, I skillfully managed teams, oversaw sales, and ensured the smooth delivery of projects, all to the satisfaction of my clients. This role allowed me to leverage my diverse background in finance, change management, project management, and strategy to provide clients with comprehensive solutions.

In recent chapters of my journey, I delved into the NGO sector, taking on the role of Head of Millionaires for Humanity, where I was dedicated to addressing issues of gross inequality. Subsequently, I embraced the role of Consultant for the World Climate Foundation, with a strong focus on nurturing impactful public-private partnerships.

My journey may not have followed a conventional path, but it has equipped me with a wealth of experiences and insights that I now bring to NYA Consultant, where I am redefining the consultancy experience with a unique blend of professionalism, creativity, and a touch of fun.

Sailing the World

Since 2018, I've embarked on a remarkable adventure, sailing the world's oceans on our sailboat, Tengah. The decision to live and work from a sailboat was born out of a life-long desire to experience the world from a different perspective. Sailing has not only shaped my worldview but also added a unique dimension to the way I approach consultancy.

Embracing Humor

Life is one big adventure, and I've always been up for a good laugh, even if it's at my own expense. Embracing humor has been my way of adding a sprinkle of joy to the journey, also when things get tough. After all, a good laugh can often be the spark that ignites creativity and fosters strong connections.

Love for Dogs

Beyond the world of consulting, I have a deep affection for our four-legged friends. I genuinely love dogs and appreciate the joy and companionship they bring into our lives. They remind me of the importance of loyalty, playfulness, and living in the moment. While I don't have a dog myself, I make it a point to bring dog food to the places we travel, ensuring that even those furry companions without homes are cared for.

Every step along my journey has been a source of invaluable experiences and profound insights. These experiences now serve as the driving force behind my determination to redefine the world of consultancy. Here at NYA Consultant, I am ready to be the bridge that connects the worlds of tradition and innovation, professionalism and enjoyment. I tackle every challenge with a spirit of creativity and adventure.

I eagerly anticipate connecting with you and joining forces to make your consultancy experience truly exceptional.
