Knut Christensen profile portrait06 / 09

Executive team

Knut Christensen

Chief Commercial Officer

Commercial leader with more than two decades of client, negotiation and market experience who builds pathways from validated infrastructure to adoption.

Knut combines more than 20 years of real-estate brokerage with later sales and marketing leadership in technology for critical-infrastructure monitoring. That background has built deep experience in customer needs, complex negotiations, commercial positioning and long-cycle decisions.

His professional profile also records a move from real estate into Sensnet Analytics AS as Sales and Marketing Manager. Sensnet applies fibre-optic sensing and data analytics to the continuous monitoring of infrastructure such as power grids, railways, roads and pipelines.

At Smart X, Knut shapes go-to-market priorities, partner opportunities and the commercial frameworks required to expand Water as a Service. His mandate remains evidence-led: scale what can be delivered, serviced and verified — not what can merely be promised.
