About Maj Tellefsen

My mission is to connect people.

Professional Consulting Services for Real Estate Investment & Market Expansion

As a specialist consultant in real estate investments for living and hospitality and market access strategies, I partner with international investors, developers, and businesses seeking to enter and expand in Portugal and Denmark’s dynamic markets.

With nearly seven years as Deputy Head of Mission and Trade at the Embassy of Denmark in Portugal, combined with extensive experience in business development, diplomacy, and M&A advisory, I deliver strategic consulting that opens doors to key industries, stakeholders, and opportunities across the Iberian and Nordic regions.
