About

I am an engineer with a strong passion for aesthetics, user friendly design and strategic product development. I thrive in environments where I can bring people together across different disciplines and cultures. My technical training combined with more tan two decades experience in design lets me facilitate and manage development processes in a unique and very hands-on way. I bring a holistic view to product structure and development, and a cohesive approach to link product management, development and marketing for the best possible user experience from first introduction to everyday usage. I embrace agile methods as a means to keep focus and quickly react to the fast-changing user needs and technological opportunities. At the same time I approach product portfolios in a systematic way, with a strong focus on a long term, sustainable development strategy.
