Alexander Hørsholt

Managing IT Architect

I am a Managing IT Architect based in Copenhagen, currently working for a leading IT consultancy delivering large, complex systems within the financial services and banking sector. I'm experienced working with financial institutions, investment platforms, insurance providers, pension providers and other regulated financial institutions.

My background spans financial services, banking and investments, insurance, and public digital infrastructure. I work primarily as an architect (technical/solution/lead), but I also bring a strong hands-on background as a full-stack software developer, with technical expertise across modern frontend and backend technologies including Spring (Java), Kafka, Angular (TypeScript), and Vue.js.

I prefer to work in environments which foster collaboration, where I can work effectively with business and IT stakeholders. I'm quick to understand and I like to work with complex domains where I can broaden my knowledge. I have extensive experience working in agile delivery models such as Scrum and SAFe, as well as in more traditional governance structures common in regulated environments.

I have held leadership roles with responsibility for large initiatives, product development, and teams of developers. I lead through technical credibility and clear direction. Furthermore, I enjoy participating in problem solving and contributing to hands-on work.
