Natasha Hougaard

I’m Natasha Hougaard, CEO & Co-Founder of SKJOLDET, where we generate real-time fraud merchant signals that help banks and other financial institutions detect and stop fraud before it happens, while fighting digital fraud through consumer-focused cybersecurity. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Artificial Intelligence and Data from DTU – Technical University of Denmark. In 2025, I was recognized as one of Denmark’s Top 25 Female Entrepreneurs to watch by Dansk Erhverv, and SKJOLDET was awarded DTU Startup of the Year 2025. I also contribute as a board member previously at DTU, bringing strategic leadership and tech insight to support innovation and growth. Link to website: https://www.skjoldet.com/en/
