Poul has been helping businesses cover their unmentionables since 2009. He started out in deathcare and now uses his background to help ALL businesses learn to CYA (Cover Your Ass...ets).

Who is Poul?

It's pronounced like "Paul," just a little more Danish.

Poul started out in deathcare— yep, that's right! Funeral homes and cemeteries and crematories, oh my!— and quickly realized his legal skills at risk mitigation and love of public speaking transcended the field and applied to all businesses. Today, Poul uses his multi-dimensional background as a platform to speak to ALL businesses about the variety of ways you can CYA (Cover Your Ass...ets). He has some pretty memorable stories to share that you won't find anywhere else, and is a great guy to grab a drink with after (or during!) the presentation.

How Ethics Determine Your Company's Success

Your company's unseen actions-those done under cover of darkness or behind closed doors-portray its values in the light.
