Kevin Magnussen:
Driving performance,
on track and in tech

Kevin Magnussen knows performance inside and out. As a professional racing driver, his world revolves around speed, precision and smart strategy, not just on the track, but far beyond it. In 2025, he’s embracing a new challenge in endurance racing with BMW M Motorsport. At the same time, he’s helping shape the future of innovation from a different seat, the boardroom at Intellis, where his competitive mindset and sharp instincts are right at home.

His role goes far beyond lending his name. Kevin is actively involved in supporting Intellis’ mission to simplify procurement in the public sector, a field known for its complexity, strict demands and relentless pressure to deliver results.

Whether it’s racing or software, performance comes from precision and focus. That’s what I see at Intellis.

With a background in Formula 1 and endurance racing, Kevin knows exactly what it takes for systems to perform flawlessly under pressure. In motorsport, every part of the car, every decision on the pit wall, every bit of data must work in perfect sync. It is not so different for procurement professionals. They operate in high-stakes settings where reliability, speed and precision are critical.

At Intellis, Kevin brings a sharp eye for performance and a steady hand in the boardroom. He pushes for clarity, focus and accountability, helping the team stay on point and build technology that performs when it truly matters.

Kevin Magnussen’s professional racing career stretches over ten years, with more than 180 Formula 1 starts for teams like McLaren, Renault and Haas. He is known for his fearless driving style and sharp technical feedback, earning him a place among Denmark’s most recognised motorsport talents.

In 2025, Kevin stepped into a new arena with BMW M Motorsport. As part of their LMDh programme, he now competes in the FIA World Endurance Championship at the wheel of the BMW M Hybrid V8. This move brings him to legendary races such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Rolex 24 at Daytona, where success demands more than raw speed. Endurance racing calls for stamina, adaptability and seamless teamwork over long hours behind the wheel.

BMW selected Kevin for his experience, consistency and the value he brings beyond the cockpit. His shift from Formula 1 to endurance racing marks a transition from short bursts of pace to a more strategic, long-range approach to performance. It is a mindset that also defines his contribution at Intellis, where the focus is on long-term results, robust systems and meaningful impact in the real world.

The connection between Kevin Magnussen and Intellis is rooted in shared values. Both are driven by performance, clarity and the need for systems that hold up under pressure.

At the highest level of motorsport, success relies on smart data use, seamless teamwork and the ability to stay composed and responsive when everything is on the line. Public sector procurement teams face a similar kind of intensity. They navigate complex workflows, large volumes of information and tight deadlines. The tools they rely on need to be solid, fast and easy to use.

Kevin brings a unique perspective that helps Intellis build technology that lives up to those demands. His background reinforces why reliability, speed and smart design matter. His input helps the company stay focused on what counts most, giving users the confidence and precision they need to deliver.

While Kevin continues racing on the world stage with BMW, his voice at Intellis ensures the company stays closely aligned with a high-performance mindset. Whether it is on the track or in public sector procurement, the goal remains the same. Deliver quality, stay sharp and always be ready for what comes next.
