About

There are excellent product developers and brilliant visionaries out there. I excel in roles of being the important link between these two as well as the bridge to the customer and other internal- and external stakeholders. An insatiable interest and deep understanding of both technical- AND commercial aspects as well as the endless joy of coaching teams of product developers has taken me to different staff-, project- and product manager roles with global scope, all delivering the company Growth and Profitability that is the key fuel to my passion and drive. Important ingredients for me is to be able to introduce new technology that brings new values to global customers and a shared belief in the company that being world class within the market niche is a must. As opposed to many other staff-, project- and product managers I have experience from successfully working in all three roles, all the way from being the first employee in a start-up company to developing strategies & roadmaps for large global corporations. Learning new things and continuous improvement in all aspects of life incl work-, individuals-, teams-, tools- and processes is a deep rooted and guiding principle for me. I believe that this principle has taken me to where I am, and I believe it will also continue to take me and my future teams to where my existing- and future employer want. Roles in which I feel comfortable and productive are: Technical Product Manager, Team leader, R&D Manager, Technical Manager and Project Manager but to take full advantage of my background a combination of some of these roles in a company where electronics is part of the product offering would maximize my contribution and value. - If you are a technology based company aspiring to be world class and need help to make a product development team realizing Growth and Profitability on the way to your vision, -Send me a message through LinkedIn!
