Michael Hansen

Founder of DubLi, President and Chief Executive Officer of MediaNet Group Technologies and Chief Executive Officer of BSP Rewards

Michael HansenMichael Hansen is the Founder of DubLi, President and Chief Executive Officer and a Director of MediaNet Group Technologies and Chief Executive Officer of the Company’s BSP Rewards subsidiary.  Early in his career, Mr. Hansen gained experience from his work in a variety of internationally recognized creative environments. Mr. Hansen holds a degree in mechanical engineering and in the late eighties and early nineties worked as a developer for the Danfoss Group. Later, he was recruited by LEGO and was responsible for theme world development spending much of time designing and creating the highly successful Space Lego product line, which later developed the Star Wars products. In 1996, he commenced his entrepreneurial career by developing a successful chain of Mexican themed franchise restaurants which he sold off in 1999 to pursue a career in the Network Marketing industry. He has achieved the highest position in two US-based network marketing companies, in telecommunications and financial services.  Shortly thereafter, Mr. Hansen founded his own direct selling company focused on special wines from around the world.  At a young age, Mr. Hansen owned a chain of successful dance nightclubs in Denmark.

In 2003, Mr. Hansen he visualized the idea of DubLi as a powerful market player in the rapidly growing eCommerce market. After careful examination and considerable studies of the ‘reverse auction’ model, he concluded there was an even bigger opportunity for growth in the multi-billion dollar consumer market. He envisioned showcasing the best selling, in-demand products and services from the most well known and reputable companies in the world; only those with a household name would qualify. The key to success would be in the ability to drive customers to DubLi.com’s auction website. He felt that buyers would bid in the auctions…only if the products and services had instant appeal and credibility to the consumer. Convinced that DubLi.com could become a huge success, Mr. Hansen began assembling the collective talents of computer programmers, software engineers, web designers and graphic artists. There were plenty of trials and tribulations along the way because everything had to be designed from the ground up and the concept of building a ‘reverse auction’ portal for the consumer market had no predecessors as a guide.

Today, Mr. Hansen oversees the direction of MediaNet Group, DubLi and BSP Rewards and acts as a motivator for the fast-growing number of business associates to ensure their continued success. As a business leader, Michael Hansen sets high standards for himself and others.
