Gitte Buje, GROW coordinator
Gitte is a lecturer at the bachelor top-up programme in Innovation & Entrepreneurship, and she has lots of practical experience with entrepreneurship in her luggage.
Before joining Business Academy Aarhus, she has worked for several years in the advertising industry, both as a creative manager and customer manager. For 8 years she was the owner of her own design agency with 15 employees. Gitte has been Innovation Manager at Arla Foods, and today also solves tasks as an independent innovation consultant.
With Gitte, you can always count on high commitment, competent professional sparring as needed and help to move you forward on your entrepreneurial journey.
Gitte is your professional driving force and sparring partner. Her focus is that in GROW you will learn new skills and be challenged professionally as well as personally. If you have ideas for professional input or visits that can help you on your entrepreneurial journey, she will be happy to hear from you.
Søren Griepentrog, GROW coordinator
Prior to joining the Academy, Søren had roles in the service and experience industry, including the establishment of a sports concept in Aarhus and as a project employee at BKI Kaffe.
In addition to a coordinator role in GROW, Søren also manages projects concerning our study environment (social offers outside of classes) as well as the Academy’s mentoring programme.
With his towering 190 cm, Søren has an overview of the office community. He manages administrative tasks, communication, and the coordination of events.
He is usually the guy that responds when you contact grow@baaa.dk.
‘For most of my working life, I have held positions with high demands for self-management and decisiveness - today you would probably call it “intrepreneurship”. I have also tried and failed to become self-employed, as I did not manage to reconcile my then life situation with the project. These are some of the experiences I would like to pass on to the members of GROW, where I enjoy providing sparring on the challenges that students face along the way’.
