About

Commercial IT legal director for Dell’s Nordic operation, Hans Flensted- Jensen leads Dell’s EMC’S legal team in the Nordic region – a team of five people spread out in all four Scandinavian countries. Flensted- Jensen and his team have provided strong local support for the recent merger between the two global technology companies Dell and EMC Corporation. Following the closing of the deal in September 2017 the legal team has supported the sales and operational integration of the two organisations as well as focusing on establishing and integrating a new legal team with team members from both legacy companies. Flensted-Jensen’s huge passion for social media and technology is evidenced by his astuteness and success in these areas. Having always had a strong focus on the business side of things, he has always strived to make sure the legal department is not a ‘party killer’ but an enabler. In this capacity he currently leads and co-ordinates the legal team to support the marketing teams in the EMEA region (Europe, Middle East & Africa). Joining Dell in 2012, Flensted-Jensen has consistently worked his way up, starting as the Nordic legal counsel, then moving onto the legal manager and then eventually in March 2016 assuming his current position as legal director. Flensted-Jensen is currently part of Dell Norway’s senior management team responsible for the Norwegian business unit. Prior to his time at Dell he served as corporate legal counsel at DuPoint Nutrition & Health where he worked on contract drafting, negotiating intellectual property rights, research and development agreements, sales and purchase agreements, material transfer agreements and confidentiality agreements. He was also in charge of general in-house legal support regarding internal policies in terms of code of conduct and a whistle-blowing system. Flensted- Jensen is recognised for his ability to lead a culturally diverse team remotely, and the empowering and trusting of each team member ensuring efficient and strong support to the local business units in the respective Nordic countries. Described as someone with a ‘pragmatic approach’ who ‘thinks outside the box’ by nominators, he is praised for his ability to communicate complex legal issues in an easy and comprehensible way to colleagues at all levels. In 2014 he was included on the annual Talent 100 list published by the renowned Danish business newspaper Berlingske Business, as one of just 100 people selected as the Danish corporate world’s rising stars.
