About Martin Michael Frederiksen
Martin is a long time software specialist. He has been working with all things Internet since 1991.
In 1997 he was on the team that invented CMS as we know it today. Template based, modular, flexible (within the limits of that time) and easy to use. There was not even a name for content management back then. What a ride.
Since then: e-commerce, it governance, cross and omnichannel, digital business strategy, retail software.
He’s also published several books, including the first Danish e-commerce book and also in Danish Total retail, which is a bestselling book on the future of retail
About Bankdata
Bankdata is one of Denmark's largest IT companies, building the financial software that around one in three Danes rely on. Founded in 1966 and headquartered in Fredericia, the company develops everything from online and mobile banking to advisory tools, support systems, and security infrastructure for its owner banks. Its platforms handle roughly 86 million transactions a day and serve 200,000 businesses alongside thousands of bank employees across the country.
The company employs close to 1,200 people and takes an engineering-first approach to development, built around automation, infrastructure as code, and domain-driven design. Bankdata is jointly owned by a group of Danish banks, giving it a mandate to build shared, mission-critical infrastructure rather than compete commercially in the market it serves.
