Sund & Bælt

Mie is the head of the data and AI team at Sund & Bælt, a state owned company that develops and maintains marine mega infrastructure projects (think Storebælt) and operates digital traffic solutions. She works on creating digital change from within in a less-than-mature industry with so many cool opportunities to apply the full range of AI technologies. She has a business school background, and have spent her career working alongside heavily technical engineering and data profiles, doing business development and running projects and teams. Before joining Sund & Bælt, she spent 5 years in Accenture Management Consulting with a dedicated focus on data & AI within the energy and utilities industries. Before that she was with Rambøll and before that Grundfos.

 

“AI is not just about algorithms and data—it’s about unlocking new possibilities for infrastructure, sustainability, and innovation. At Sund & Bælt, we see AI as a bridge between today’s challenges and tomorrow’s smarter, greener solutions.”
