Lars Gravesen

Lars Gravesen is a Danish IT entrepreneur. He is CEO of Lumigon, a Danish company that designs and manufactures smartphones. He founded the company in 2009 with the ambition to create smartphones with a creative edge and elements of everyday functions like a built-in universal remote control.[1] Lars Gravesen has since then presented four Lumigon smartphones.[2] Most recent is the T2 smartphone[3] that is now being sold in Europe and Asia.[4]

Lars Gravesen founded his first company in 1995. This was the software consulting company DanTeam, which was sold to Aston Group in 1999. Until 2001 Lars worked as CEO for Aston Group. Then he founded Excitor and launched the mobile platform MobileCare, which is a mobile device management solution for mobile users in the elderly sector.[5] Lars got the idea for Excitor when waiting for his wife Tina, who worked as a nurse in 2001. The MobileCare solution increased the efficiency of 700 public health care workers, as they could now do their reporting via mobile phones. [6] In 2007 Excitor was placed in the IDC Leadership Grid of the Mobile Device Management Enterprise Market. [7] Lars is still a member of the board of Excitor.[8]

Before Lars started founding companies he worked as a consultant with IT structure and security at Accenture (former Andersen Consulting).[9]
