The Impero Story
From vision to reality: follow the key milestones that have shaped Impero’s journey, from our founding to becoming a trusted SaaS provider for organizations looking to achieve better compliance through risk management and internal controls.
Two auditors meet in 2006
Our founders, Morten Balle and Jacob Engedal Sørensen, meet while working as auditors at Deloitte. They both recognize the recurring problem that risk & internal control recommendations from audit reports are not effectively implemented year-after-year.
Founded on December 2, 2013
Morten and Jacob join forces to start Impero with the vision of simplifying the risk and internal controls. They set up their first office in Aarhus at the end of 2013.
Onboarded first customers in 2015
From an initial idea to an actual solution, Impero began onboarding initial customers in its home market of Denmark. We are proud to say that many of the initial customers are still using Impero today.
