About IgniteIT
Big Results. Small Setup. Always Personal.
IgniteIT isn’t a consultancy firm with layers of staff and sales agendas. It’s me – Holger Axelgaard.
With over 20 years of experience in IT leadership, I’ve helped transform businesses across industries – from agriculture and manufacturing to international enterprises and fast-moving operations. I’ve advised leadership teams, driven ERP and cloud transformations, led IT departments across borders, and built secure, modern infrastructures from the ground up.
Besides that, I’ve also founded and grown a successful IT company, so I understand both the technical and business side of creating real value – not just reports and roadmaps.
You don’t have to wonder who’s showing up.
When you work with IgniteIT, you work directly with me – no handovers, no noise, just results.
You get my full attention, my experience, and my honest opinion – every time. No junior handoffs. No upselling. Just hands-on, strategic IT leadership from someone who's done it before – and will do it for you.
