A few things about me
Yes, all of this is me.
I’m Jørgen. I lead software teams, build things, write, make photographs and music, and coach runners. No single label quite covers it. Here are a few answers about how it all fits together.
Quick answers
A little more about me.
The person behind it
Who is Jørgen Larsen?
I'm a software development leader and independent maker based in Copenhagen. I wrote my first line of code 40 years ago and have spent nearly 25 years working professionally with software, teams, and leadership. Alongside that work, I write, make photographs and music, coach runners, build digital products, and create books and physical objects.
Where are you based?
I'm based in Vanløse, Copenhagen, Denmark, and work in both Danish and English. I was born and raised in Vendsyssel, the northern part of Jutland.
What is a polymath?
A polymath works across several fields and is interested in the connections between them. I use the word because no single professional label describes the whole of my work. “Polymath. Dreamer. Maker. Finisher.” also contains an important qualification: curiosity matters, but so does completing and releasing things.
What do you mean by leadership & systems?
It means the structures around the work: how decisions are made, how responsibility is understood, how feedback moves, and how culture and process help or hinder people. It does not mean treating people like parts in a machine.
Leadership & digital work
What does PX7 mean?
P is for porcupine, X because it looks cool, and 7 because it is my number. It is not an acronym.
What is PX7 Digital?
PX7 Digital is my independent space for digital products, product experiments, and writing about thoughtful software and leadership work, separate from my day-to-day software leadership role.
What is the relationship between GN Audio / Jabra and PX7 Digital?
GN Audio / Jabra is my professional leadership role. PX7 Digital is my independent space for products, experiments, and writing. My professional experience and personal interests influence each other, but I keep the two separate.
What software do you make?
I build Mac tools, mobile apps and games through PX7 Digital. Examples include GrooveFile for record collections, Baristalog for espresso, PlayerSignal for Danish youth football, and Llama Rush for iPhone and iPad.
Are all your projects part of PX7 Digital?
No. Most of the digital products and several creative projects belong to the PX7 family. Crafted Once, Pauseimperiet, and Løbementor have their own identities and stand on their own.
Writing, photography & music
Where can I see your photographs?
My photography lives in two places. PHO2.ONE, which I run together with my son William H. Larsen, covers sport and events. PX7 Photography holds the personal frames. A selection is also published free to use on Pexels and Unsplash under @px7digital.
Where can I read your writing?
I write about tempo, attention, software and leadership. Pauseimperiet is my Danish writing on slowing down, seeing clearly and staying human in a noisy world. The PX7 Digital Journal covers leadership, software development and thoughtful digital work.
What books have you written?
Three, all in Danish and published through Crafted Once. PAUSE is about tempo, humanity and the life we cannot optimize our way out of. “Nogen om Noget” is a book without chapters, only moments, made together with The Secret Colab. “Sådan dater du en Nordjyde som Sjællænder” is a warm little book about loving across Denmark.
Do you make music?
Yes. PX7 Records is my outlet for music and spoken-word projects, including Low Signal Society, Baraka Mwangi, SEVEN AEKKO and Eron Ljas. The music is available on Apple Music, Spotify and other streaming services.
Can you sing?
No - not really. In music, my focus is writing lyrics and shaping the idea, mood, and structure around a song rather than performing the vocal.
Running & contact
Do you coach runners?
Yes. PX7 Training is science-based endurance coaching for everyday runners - threshold-led, adaptive and transparent in its reasoning. Løbementor is my personal coaching work, focused on technique, rhythm and the long game.
How do I contact you?
Instagram messages are the fastest way to reach me, followed by Messenger. You can also message me on Signal. LinkedIn works for professional context, and email is best for thoughtful enquiries and longer messages. Everything is collected on the connect page.
Reach out
Instagram or Messenger is best
Instagram or Messenger are the best places for direct contact. You can also message me on Signal. LinkedIn is best for professional context, and email is also an option - just not where I respond fastest.
