About

I create measurable value by aligning business strategy with scalable, data-driven solutions. With a strong understanding of both the analogue and digital aspects of business, I bridge these worlds to design systems that empower teams and drive commercial growth. I lead through open communication, transparency, and collaboration—prioritizing people while enabling efficiency and accountability. My focus is on building holistic solutions that meet current needs and adapt to future demands. In my experience, technology should never constrain the business—it should enable it. I prioritize platforms and processes that support real-world workflows and put users at the center. I’ve led cross-functional initiatives across CRM, CX, marketing automation, and sales—embedding AI and predictive tools into the customer journey to streamline operations, improve decision-making, and increase commercial impact. I take ownership of both outcomes and culture, ensuring solutions are embraced—not imposed. As a leader, I value empathy, clarity of purpose, and shared accountability. I’ve successfully led and motivated all four active generations in today’s workforce through trust, purpose, and collaboration—because when people understand the "why" behind their work, they thrive.

    • Senior Business Development Specialist, CRM
      Sep 2019 - Mar 2023 · 3 yrs 7 mos

      I worked closely with business partners and users across multiple divisions. The role was mainly focused on updating, optimizing, streamlining, training, and supporting the users in in the daily use of our platforms. Another part of the role was identifying areas of possible development, anchored in business processes and needs, with a focus on empowering sale through data collection, activation and understanding. Naturally, development and streamlining take up a lot of resources in an organization on a digital journey. Collaboration with the business is wide-ranging, covering everything from best practice, needs assessment, design of new functions, processes, and training in both existing and new solutions. The second leg of the digital journey plays into data accessibility, such as the activation and delivery of data and the conversion of data into actions. This is done as a close collaboration across the organization with other functions such as MarTech, BI and GTM. Project samples: - Churn Calculations – Definition and development Continuously highlighted costumers’ Churn insights and made them actionable, either in a digital MarTech context as automation actions, or delivered to account managers for follow-up in a structured and reportable way. In both cases driving up retention. - Connecting Phone system to CRM system Established a solution that automatically retrieves CRM data for an incoming call, greatly reducing time spent looking it up manually, also enabling bringing campaigns and other initiatives, defined by management, in focus at the start of a call. Approx. 1,3mil. calls/year. - Implementing High cadence – Sales Team Developed a setup for High cadence sales based on existing smaller costumers with little to no sales. Enabled only a few sales reps to handle a very high account to sales rep ratio. Originally a PoC with an exit strategy, this ended up as a fully fleshed department, driving sales that would otherwise be lost to competitors.
