About

IT Project Manager and IT Advisor with broad industry knowledge in Oil & Gas, combining business acumen and IT expertise to drive change. I’ve successfully delivered digitalization initiatives, ERP implementations and aligned IT strategies with business priorities to generate measurable value in global enterprises. Most recently, I’ve played a key role in a large scale next-generation ERP and data platform implementation - redefining business processes, driving organizational change and integrating the solution into the enterprise portfolio. This experience has deepened my understanding of what it takes to successfully deliver complex, multi-year programs. My career began with a top-tier global consulting company where I was leading developing and testing teams, managing IT projects and advising clients in the Telecom industry. In 2007 I transitioned to the Energy sector, taking on an IT Business Analyst role at a leading global exploration and production company. That role enhanced my understanding of core industry processes in Oil & Gas which enabled me to deliver high-impact IT projects across operations, wells, supply chain and finance, including complex divestiture and acquisition initiatives. In 2015, I stepped into a leadership role managing SAP delivery teams, which marked a shift in my career. I expanded my focus from project execution to people development and strategic advisory. Initially overseeing delivery across the EMEA region from Norway, I later supervised a global SAP operations and logistics services team. A three-year expat assignment in the U.S. enriched my cultural perspective and sharpened my leadership capabilities. Whether shaping IT roadmaps or deploying agile frameworks, I thrive on turning complexity into clarity - delivering solutions that matter. Collaboration, adaptability, integrity, forward-thinking and transparent communication guide every project I lead.
