About Maj Tellefsen

Founder and CEO

Tellefsen Consulting was founded on the belief that entering a new market should be strategic, informed, and relationship-driven. With more than 15 years of experience in diplomacy and international business development, our founder has dedicated her career to helping organizations build meaningful connections and create opportunities across borders.

Her most recent role as Deputy Head of Mission and Head of Trade at the Embassy of Denmark in Portugal provided her with deep insight into the Portuguese market and the business environments of both Portugal and Denmark. That experience now informs the advisory work she offers through Tellefsen Consulting — helping clients with market entry, business growth, stakeholder engagement, and tailored support designed to make expansion smoother and more effective.
