About

Signe Toft recently joined SYBO Games in June 2015 as their general counsel. Sybo is a company which produces mobile games and is still at a young stage of development but deals with high revenue and a fast paced growth rate. Sybo are fortunate to have gained a talented lawyer in Toft who, based on her previous role, demonstrates a strong skill set in setting up a legal department while integrating them through the entire value chain of the company. Within her early weeks of joining Sybo, Toft successfully grasped the attention of senior management and founders to liaise with them her vision of the legal department and the value it will bring for the company. Before going in-house she worked at one of Denmark’s largest law firms for almost 10 years, with many years of diverse experiences. Her previous role was with North Media, a company established in 1965 and the only listed media group in Denmark. The North Media legal department was previously isolated and located off the physical premises of the business. The inclusion of Toft as head of legal for the company came with many changes that sparked an increase of legal-business interactions. She moved the legal department to the business premises and created a persona of the legal department that was, and still is, welcomed by the business on all matters concerned. The legal department, under the commendable leadership of Toft, overcame its days of ‘firefighting and solving conflicts’ to portray admirable process optimisation in contract management and expanded its activities to ‘pursuing business opportunities’. A reference states that ‘it is only due to Signe Toft’s special abilities and drive that the legal department of North Media today stands out as an example for all to follow’. Having made a pivotal and long lasting transformation at North Media we can expect nothing less from Toft’s efforts to follow in her role at SYBO Games. ‘She has proved that she can navigate between strong personalities at the top level and get through her ideas and recommendations. She absolutely deserves this recognition’.
