Summary

I have many years of experience as a Portfolio manager in a technical environment. I have been working in the Intralogistics industry for more than 10 years, both in machine sales and project sales. I have become familiar with various industrial sectors.
I have been working in the Intralogistics sector for more than 10 years, both in mechanical- and project based engineering.
My strength is building structures and implementing them. I attach great importance to modern leadership, agile methods of collaboration and teamwork. I am looking forward to working with companies that want to build or establish a strong Portfolio management system, and in doing so aim to build on the potential of their employees and develop them further
