Copenhagen, Capital Region of Denmark, Denmark
I help complex industrial and logistics organizations turn automation, operational technology, and digital transformation into scalable business value. With 20+ years of international leadership across ports, transport, and global logistics, I work at the intersection of strategy, operations, automation engineering, and Industry 4.0 transformation. My focus is on integration ownership, smart operations, modular platform design, and disciplined execution that prevents fragmented solutions from destroying value. I started my career as an entrepreneur in maritime operations technology and later built global automation, OT integration, and engineering capabilities across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and the United States. Since 2013, I have led the shift from isolated local deployments toward repeatable, connected, and scalable industrial technology solutions that deliver measurable business outcomes across complex operational environments. My experience spans automation strategy, industrial systems integration, robotics, operational technology modernization, and the deployment of scalable digital solutions supporting operational resilience, efficiency, and transformation at scale. Today, I lead Automation & OT Engineering at A.P. Moller - Maersk in Copenhagen, supporting the company’s transport and logistics integrator strategy through integrated automation platforms, engineering governance, and operational technology transformation. My perspective is simple: in complex systems, value comes from clear ownership, strong integration, engineering discipline, and the ability to align technology transformation with operational and business strategy.
I lead the global Automation & Operation Technology function for Fulfilled by Maersk, positioning AOT as the Integrator of Choice across our logistics network. With 20+ years in transport and logistics technology, automation engineering, and supply chain transformation, I turn strategy into modular, value-driven execution across multi-region automation programs and complex logistics technology landscapes. I drive end-to-end OT integration and automation delivery - standardizing and scaling robotics, material handling, and execution systems while ensuring measurable business outcomes. This includes full accountability for WMS/WCS integration and the broader functional landscape that connects automation, IT/OT, and operations into one coherent, high-performing platform. I partner closely with regional and operational leaders to shape investments early, reduce fragmentation, and accelerate time-to-value. Through strong engineering discipline, tech solution design leadership, and a clear engagement model, I drive delivery excellence, portfolio clarity, and performance improvement at scale - including sustainability performance metrics into our technology and automation programs.
I established and led the Automation Engineering capability within Maersk Technology, building a unified engineering approach for automation and operation technology across ports, terminals, and warehouse logistics. My focus was on standardizing how we design, integrate, and scale industrial automation across the Maersk network. By connecting industrial automation engineering with the OT landscape, I helped create the foundation for modular, value-driven execution and cross-region scalability - work that later evolved naturally into today’s global Automation & Operation Technology function.
20 years of international leadership experience across transport logistics technology, industrial automation engineering, operational technology, and large-scale supply chain digital transformation. Proven success leading multi-region ports and terminals Industry 4.0 modernization programs, driving smart operations transformation through automation, OT integration, modular platform strategies, industrial systems integration, and scalable technology architectures across complex operational environments. Extensive experience delivering global automation and operational modernization initiatives spanning greenfield and brownfield environments, with a strong focus on integration ownership, engineering governance, operational resilience, asset digitisation, Digital Twin platform enablement, and connected industrial ecosystems. Recognized for leading the transition from fragmented local deployments toward standardized, repeatable, and scalable automation platforms that improve operational efficiency, business performance, safety, and long-term technology sustainability. Strong track record integrating sustainability transformation objectives and environmental performance metrics into logistics technology strategy, operational technology modernization, and smart infrastructure design.
