I have a proven track record of leading and developing innovative products that solve complex problems and deliver value to customers and stakeholders. My core competencies include product planning and roadmapping, functional and technical requirements analysis, remote and cross-cultural collaboration, data-driven decision making, and stakeholder management. I am also certified in ISPMA Excellence in Product Planning and Dynamics AX and CRM. I have successfully managed and matured products from internal to external SaaS tools, integrated billing and user acquisition systems, and expanded into new markets. I enjoy working with teams across time zones and cultures, and I am fluent in Swedish, English, and German. I am always eager to learn new skills and technologies, and to take on new challenges in the dynamic and fast-paced product management field.
