Originally from Denmark, but now residing in sunny Florida in the USA, Mikkel Pitzner engages in many, varied projects and loves the diversity he finds in these. Some of these projects are projects that he starts himself and owns and operates, while others are projects he is partnering in with varied levels of active involvement. Other projects are other people’s businesses in which he may consult on short or long term basis, either as a consultant or as a board member or both.

Past experience include running the fourth largest car rental company in Denmark leading a generational change in this while merging with then existing company that franchised the Budget Rent A Car for Denmark, leading the complicated joining of two vastly different company cultures, while undergoing a complete implementation of brand new IT-system and implementing a brand new bookkeeping department and taking the company from a two location in the capital of Denmark company to a nationally present company with numerous locations including one franchisee and heading up sales and development of the leasing part of the company growing this by approximately 50%. And eventually heading up the preparations, negotiations and sale of the company spinning off the leasing compartment altogether first and splitting the rest to be sold off to two separate buyers simultaneously with take over date same day 6 months following the sale of the leasing department.

During the final few years of running the car rental company Mikkel Pitzner bought Copenhagen Limousine Service which profits he grew by no less than 3200% in the first year of ownership alone while running the company “by remote control” while running the car rental business. Eventually Mikkel Pitzner went on to buy up competitor “2B At Your Service” and established a separate sister company named “The Private Car Company” that would among other assignments handle crew transportation for big airline companies such as Air France and KLM including others such as Cimber Air and Martin Air to name a few. Subsequently a few years later also bought up competitor “Alterna Limousine Service” while also establishing “Scandinavian Limousine Service”. The limousine service companies held the highest esteem with the discerned clientele visiting the region and handled numerous high profile very big tasks including the pleasure of services no less than 3 US presidents, being George Bush, President Clinton and President O’Bama, the latter during the World Climate Summit meetings during 2009, servicing more than 200 limousines to the US Embassy of Copenhagen along with numerous other embassies, countries, royalties, celebrities, multi-conglomerates etc.

Mikkel also founded and successfully ran an import and distribution company of scuba diving equipment until that company was sold to a German distributor just a few years following the foundation.

Mikkel was an early investor and a partner of Freetrailer (which comprises of Freetrailer Denmark, Freetrailer Sweden and soon Freetrailer Germany and other nations) and of a very unique advertising and marketing bureau named Aksel & Ko, as well as a yet to be publicized company that operates a platform called woogie-woogie making it possible for companies to operate all their rental businesses in new and more efficient ways. Mikkel exited all Freetrailer activities during 2019.

Amazing Ideas, Inc. focuses predominantly on the digital marketing and on what Mikkel calls “the digital dna” of its customers.

From Mikkel himself:

“People I meet naturally ask me what I do just like I ask them the same question. but lately, I have found it difficult to offer a simple and concise answer to this, possibly because I do not do just one thing that more or less would define what I do.

I think the simple answer would be to call me a serial entrepreneur, but even that does not really tell you much of anything, does it?

So if, however, I was to let you know a little bit about what I currently do, then my reply would entail pieces of the following functions:

Very, very proud father to a beautiful and fantastic son, Gabriel

Very, very proud father to a beautiful and fantastic daughter, Angelica

Consultancy on business plans, strategy and vision

Consultancy on marketing, website and social media marketing

Professional Board Of Directors member

Partner in a few private companies and enterprises

Small time investor

Mastermind group member and mentor

Bestselling Author

Speaker

And creator of programs designed to help individual, professionals and businesses achieve more and become more.

Student of life, Quantum physics and everything else. I read. I read A LOT. Mostly factuals and sometimes several books a day. Thank God for speed reading. Also thank God for great mentors and I have a few. Some dead and some thankfully still living. Some I just met via their books and writings others I know in person. I am grateful for their messages and their sharing. Most of all I am grateful for their brilliance.

I am currently building several new enterprises in several different and unrelated areas of activities.

I am always intrigued by great thinking, innovative ideas and great business opportunities and I suffer a little bit by being very excited about every new shiny object. However, with a fairly extensive experience behind me already with several mishaps (if indeed not failures) and some decent successes, then I seem to get better at dropping the more doubtful projects before I waste too much time on them and focus more on some that could pose really serious potential”.
