Busy day coming up. This morning I am attending a board meeting at Cafe Ketchup. This chain of cafes and restaurants are among my last off-line (non IT-related that is) clients at the law firm. I was brought into the board by Torben Olsen – a long time friend – who together with his family owns several brand name cafes and restaurants in Copenhagen. The owners of Cafe Ketchup – among them Peter Asschenfeldt – a Danish publisher and media mogul – have exciting plans of rolling out a lot of cafes in Northern Europe as part of a franchise concept. I really enjoy participating in ventures with growth plans – even though consolidation is the name of the game these post dotcom bust days.
