Make decisions faster

Stuck in the same loop, even after "transformation"?

If you're still battling slow decisions, rising costs, or tech that never got traction, you're not alone.

Many operators are sitting on years of data with no clear action plan. Others are chasing growth while quietly bleeding profit.

You know there’s low-hanging fruit. But without deep operational experience, most consultants just don’t see it.

Built by operators, not consultants

Kite & Compass is led by Niels Klarskov, with hands-on experience across Maersk, DP World, Swire, and Cindicium.

We know what it takes to drive measurable outcomes—because we’ve done it inside the world’s top port and shipping firms.
