Mikkel Hippe Brun’s Summary

I have been self employed most of my career. I was co-founder of a software development company specializing in SGML and XML database publishing techniques. I taught some of the earliest courses on XML and XSLT and have designed and implemented several advanced XML and SGML transformation solutions. I have also participated in a number of development projects as a programmer, but later ended up as project leader and Chief Technology Officer. I worked for one year as an independent consultant on XML-technologies to the Danish Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation prior to my current job. I am now employed at the Danish National IT- and Telecom agency where I quickly became responsible for standards development related to a new invoicing law which was enacted in 2005. This initiative put Denmark on the leading edge of electronic invoicing worldwide. We exchange 1.25 million invoices every month! I have been working with building a SOA infrastructure to support e-procurement since early 2005. Such an infrastructure is now being rolled out across Europe in the PEPPOL project. My job is to make sure that happens.

My short term goals are to be successful with the implementation of a pan European network for transport of electronic business documents. My long term goal is to have every SME and government institution in Europe connected to that network. It will be built on open standards and open source.
