Porsgaard Consulting

Porsgaard Consulting was founded in 2016 after successful completion of different consulting and implementation mandates in the Civil Protection, Relief and Development areas.

This experience together with a background of civil protection and public management builds the foundation of Porsgaard Consulting. Through the increasing numbers of catastrophes and natural disasters as well as different conflicts, the need to develop and implement more complex and innovative programmes has grown. The strategy of Porsgaard Consulting is to support your programmes and projects to guarantee a sustainable and aim oriented impact.

Michael Porsgaard holds a Master of Public Management (specializing in Strategic Management and evaluating processes), as well as an officer’s degree from Danish Emergency Management Agency (DEMA). He has over 30 years experience in civil protection, humanitarian and development contexts with in-depth experience in both natural disasters and complex emergencies. As an experienced disaster response practitioner, Mr. Porsgaard has developed proven skills in assessment, operations, intervention strategies as well as evaluation of crisis response and disaster risk reduction approaches. He has worked with UNHCR and The European Civil protection Mechanism on a number of assignments, including being seconded to the Emergency Response Coordination Centre (ERCC) in Brussels during major incidents.
