Professional Journey
Olesen’s most documented earlier role is at Tobii, the Stockholm-based eye-tracking technology company. He served as its Chief Financial Officer for about five years. In October 2016 Tobii announced that he had decided to leave to take a similar position at another company, and that he would remain CFO until he left office in March 2017. Chief executive Henrik Eskilsson said at the time that Olesen had played a significant role at Tobii, particularly before and during the company’s initial public offering.
He is now Chief Financial Officer of EcoOnline. The company’s software covers workplace safety, lone-worker protection, chemical management, permits, crisis response and sustainability reporting, and it has grown partly by acquisition. UK company records show him appointed as a director of eight EcoOnline group companies on 12 December 2025, including EcoOnline UK Limited, the ePermits and Sypol businesses, AirsWeb and Ecometrica Limited, registered in Edinburgh, and of Safe Apps Limited on 24 February 2026.
He works on an executive team whose leadership changed in September 2026, when EcoOnline named Conor O’Loughlin, co-founder of the fitness software company Glofox, as chief executive in succession to Tom Goodmanson.
