Karsten Thoning Solaas
Partner
In the dynamic world of audio-visual technology, my journey began with the pioneering establishment of dnp denmark’s distribution network in the early '90s. Joining forces with Greg Jeffreys, together we built a solid UK network for dnp projection screens and a friendship that has flourished for over 35 years.
Beyond dnp, my career is marked by diverse ventures, ranging from investments in cutting-edge laser technologies for screens and cinema at Laser Interface, to steering the helm as CEO at Comtech, a major Danish AV rental company. Beyond the AV industry, I've held Management Consultant roles with PWC and ACOS. Passionate about social entrepreneurship I established a cashew factory in Tanzania, co-owned by the local farmers. This has been a life-changing experience. For them and for me.
Reuniting with Greg at Visual Displays is a new chapter. We are excited to continue the legacy of the dnp Supernova screen brand as VDL Supernova. Our mission is to be the premier supplier and knowledge hub for Hybrid Meeting Spaces.
Outside work, my life is enriched by my wife Rikke and our lively home, shared with some of our six children. My affinity for water is evident in my love for rowing, sailing, and swimming throughout the year. I’m passionate about the arts, including painting, literature and eclectic music tastes.
