About Janus Boye
Janus has worked at the intersection of networking, innovation, and digital leadership since 1998. When organisations like Alfa Laval, Nordea, Red Bull, the United Nations, and the World Health Organization need help moving their digital presence to the next level, they've turned to him for peer-to-peer consulting.
Rather than writing lengthy reports, he focuses on delivering unique insights and asking good questions, drawing on decades of experience and an extensive network. In early 2024, London-based agency MMT called him a "networking innovator" - a label that captures how he's spent his career turning connections into communities.
At Boye & Company, which he's led since 2003, he designs and delivers peer groups and conferences that bring similarly motivated leaders together from different organisations, giving them a professionally managed and coordinated network of colleagues who deal with similar projects and challenges.
Janus enjoys occasional speaking engagements and has spoken at conferences across Asia, Europe, and America, including a keynote in Amsterdam on the rise of employee experience, and sessions at the Web Summer Camp in Rovinj, Croatia.
Privately, he lives in an old townhouse in Aarhus with his three children, and is involved in local efforts to improve the city's schools.
About Boye & Company
Boye & Company designs and delivers peer groups and conferences that bring together similarly motivated digital leaders from different organisations, giving them a professionally managed, coordinated network of colleagues facing similar projects and challenges. Rather than one-off events, the focus is on building lasting peer relationships between people doing comparable work.
Members benefit from direct access to a specialised international network of like-minded digital professionals — people who can offer the right answer, angle, or contact needed to help make a project successful. Boye & Company also encourages and supports informal contacts and consultations between members, extending the value of its conferences and peer groups well beyond the events themselves.
