Aarhus, Central Denmark Region, Denmark

About

I build strong relationships, improve processes, and turn complexity into direction and performance. In my current role, I manage the full lifecycle of O&M contracts, acting as the primary interface to customers and asset managers. I performance, ensure commercial alignment, and create transparency in complex operational setups. My work sits at the intersection of technical, commercial, and organizational dynamics — from performance optimization and contract management to claims handling, reporting, and continuous improvement. Beyond the core role, I contribute to developing new solutions, including SCADA-related offerings, and work on strengthening the link between contractual entitlements and operational delivery. With a background in sales, customer-facing roles, and business development, I understand how to translate needs into solutions that work in practice and deliver commercial impact. I thrive in international environments and navigate across cultures with ease, supported by three languages.
