Dr. Morten Middelfart, CTO
At the age of 14 Morten Middelfart began working professionally in the software industry and by his 25th birthday he had established the successful Business Intelligence company, Morton Systems. In 1997 Morton Systems was acquired by TARGIT and Morten Middelfart was hired to be the CTO of TARGIT. The TARGIT suite we know today still feeds of the technologies and ideas from Morton Systems.
Morten leads the technological development of TARGIT and is currently working to redefine the term “user-friendliness” within business intelligence software.
Morten is educated from Henley Management College in the UK (MBA), and Rushmore University in the US where he finished his Ph.D. by publishing the groundbreaking book about Computer Aided Leadership and Management (CALM). He is currently in progress with his second Ph.D. with the title “Optimizing Business Intelligence with the OODA Framework” at the Center for Data-Intensive Systems (DAISY) at Aalborg University in Denmark.
Morten is a former Army Officer, and his experience in business intelligence dates back to 1992 where he worked as a project manager for Maersk (currently no. 106 on Fortune 500) with focus on turning data into decisions. In his spare time Morten is an experienced skydiver and instructor with more than 1300 jumps and a few B.A.S.E. jumps behind him.
“Dr. Morton” says:
"Having worked in the business intelligence industry for more than a decade and in the computer industry for two decades, I have experienced my share of un-trustworthy systems where human judgment was needed to over-ride a computer's analytical findings. However, looking at many of the business intelligence implementations in organizations I see today, I can't help but wonder if this is the right time to take computing to a new level in organizations where we start trusting computers to achieve synergy rather than just simple efficiency."
