Building profitable growth companies with a focus on leadership, structure and sales excellence
I am Geir Larsen, founder and business leader with a proven ability to build and scale growth companies in various industries. Several of the startups I founded have accelerated to over 100 MSEK in revenue in just 2-3 years.
My passion for sales started already during my economics studies in Oslo, where I knocked on doors to sell insurance. My drive and competitive instinct quickly saw me rise to the top ten of over a hundred salespeople - leading to my first role as a sales manager.
That role was the start of a dynamic career in leadership, where I have had the privilege of taking on roles as CEO, entrepreneur and consultant - focusing on developing tailored growth programs for companies in expansion phase and engaging in strategic board work.
I thrive best when the pace is fast and the pressure is high - just like when I stand on the starting line in roller skiing, ready to give everything to win. With the same energy, determination and commitment, I take on every assignment, always with a focus on helping clients achieve their highest ambitions.

My practical sales experience ranges from B2C to complex B2B. I am driven by exceeding expectations and building long-term business relationships. I was so impressed by Adviser Partners' powerful methods when I implemented them in one of my companies, that I decided to join. Now I share the insights I gained in sales and sales leadership.
Today, my focus is to help owners, CEOs, sales management and salespeople to build effective and high-performing sales organizations that deliver results. My methodology together with Adviser Partner is simple, concrete and based on a combination of:
Practical experience as a salesperson, entrepreneur and CEO with solid growth figures
Academic background (MBA and a Corporate Governance degree from Lund University, and a Bachelor's degree from Bergen Business School)
"So my question is - How much should your company grow?"
As a winner, I love to challenge, change and create a sales culture that exudes strong energy, clear goals and celebrates every success. My focus is on creating real, measurable value for my customers, and there are few challenges in sales I can't help solve.I look forward to helping your business accelerate your sales and create sustainable, profitable growth.
