Jeg havde fornøjelsen af at arbejde sammen med Christian i ca. 10 måneder i 2019/20, hvor Christian var ansat som konsulent i Gate 21. Christian hjalp os med med at kortlægge og optimere vores økonomiprocesser. Derudover spillede Christian en nøglerolle i en større gennemgang af vores projektøkonomi og verificering af den regnskabsmæssige indregning. Sidst, men ikke mindst var Christian en vigtig og værdifuld sparringspartner for mig som ny økonomichef i organisationen.
Christian er yderst dedikeret og arbejder meget fokuseret og loyalt med sine opgaver. Han er fleksibel og ordentlig, og går lige den ekstra mil, for at levere varen. Med sit rolige gemyt og venlige væsen får Christian hurtigt skabt ro og tillid. Det har været en fornøjelse at arbejde sammen Christian.

Christian is a very very pleasant person to both work with and spent time with privately. He is eager to make a difference and he has truly done that in Y digital. Christian came into our company at the right time for us, and he has as CFO helped us transform his department into a homogeneous unit. Christian has participated on all levels of our operations from actually doing shit to join board meetings. As his journey takes him to new opportunities I can highly recommend him and if needed please contact me for a personal recommendation.

Christian was hired by the Embassy of Denmark in Bangladesh for the period Sept 2020 to Aug 2021 to support with a full and complete closure of a large development programme involving approx 45 staff, 1400+ assets and a complex control environment with associated risks and numerous audits to keep on track. During the closure, Christian demonstrated excellent oversight, management and communication skills. He developed and handled all relevant elements in the exit-plan in a structured and professional manner. The programme was completed and closed to our full satisfaction - in large part thanks to Christian and his team.
For more information feel free to contact me.

Jeg har haft den store fornøjelse at arbejde tæt sammen med Christian mens han har været Budgetchef på CBS. Samarbejdet varede desværre kun 1,5 år, men i den tid har Christian helt klart rykket CBS' budgetopfølgning og analyserne i forbindelse hermed et væsentlig stykke. Christian arbejder meget engageret, systematisk og meget kompetent og leverer i den grad opgaven. Christian havde personaleansvaret for budgetafdelingen og beviste mens han var på CBS, at han til fulde evner denne opgave. Christian har en god og rummelig tilgang til andre mennesker, men ved også hvornår han skal være fast og stå ved sine meninger. Jeg kommer til at savne Christian og hans pragmatiske tilgang til arbejdet, men ønsker ham al mulig held og lykke i hans fremtidige karriere.

Christian and Krone Controlling was hired to prepare a Value for Money (VfM) study of our MAP programme, implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organisation. As Danida have yet to produce any guidelines on VfM, Christian and his team developed an excellent methodology which can be utilised in other settings going forward. He produced an excellent VfM study with clear recommendations, which enabled us to move forward with the next phase of our programme. I can fully recommend Christian - please do not hesitate to reach out in case of questions.
Best, Miral

I am pleased to have worked with Christian on a development programme in Nepal that I managed and where Christian was involved as a short term adviser (2016-17). Christian is a dedicated and engaged team member with a great solution oriented mindset. He has excellent finance project management skills and pays great attention to details without losing focus on the overall plans, objectives and results. Christian is quick to understand the core issue of a challenge or request and is able to grasp detailed information in a short time. He takes on new tasks with great enthusiasm, curiosity and professionalism. Apart from that, Christian is also just a pleasant and fun colleague to work with. He has excellent people skills and a good sense of humor.
Please do not hesitate to contact me for further details and recommendations.

It is a pleasure to work with Christian. Dedicated, sharp, professional and to the point - while at the same time innovative and fun to be around. I am convinced that his open, honest and positive approach to sensitive issues as well as his ability to stay calm in difficult situations will make him an asset to all teams that he may choose to join. I recommend Christian unreservedly and would be happy to provide further oral or written references, upon requests.

Krone Controlling was selected to carry out a financial capacity assessment of a local organisation to assess if they were to receive direct funding. Christian carried out the assessment in a very professional manner and we were very satisfied with the dialogue, the process, and the outcome.

Christian Krone has the ability to adjust into very difficult and tight scheduled deadlines. He can adopt new ideas very quickly. Nothing more to say about his understanding about financial management, he has demonstrated equal skills in human resources management (skillfully implemented MFA's introduction of new salary policy for locally employed staff in Dhaka), general administration, security issues (very nicely coordinated a kidnap case in Bangladesh), etc. He likes to set new paths for others to follow, like the way he has initiated Danida's involvement in public financial management in Bangladesh. He used to be the focal point on anti-corruption issues. He is also a very good organiser of trainings, workshops, and seminars.
Above all else, he is a very polite social person, good and reliable colleague/supervisor, friend, and sportsman.
