      Responsibility In short, I do product marketing in the R&D frontend development team by connecting the business strategy and the innovation strategy - by identifying the most commercially relevant target audience, and translating end-user, decision maker, and defence strategists into the innovation strategy. Connecting business strategy and innovation strategy: Connecting the growth and margin ambition with the innovation strategy, and balancing risk and reward. Identification of commercial relevant target audience: Heading up development of a market model to guide the innovation team on the commercially most relevant target audience. Insight based mapping of end-users, decision makers, and strategists: Leading mapping of stakeholders to guide the innovation team on e.g. users most relevant tasks and pains. Identification of the sweet spot between business viability, end-user desirability, and technical feasibility: Leading the process involving commercial and technical teams. Results Connecting business strategy and innovation strategy: New innovation plan is approved on time by senior management providing an offensive innovation strategy in 2025-30 enabling the company to grow 3 times faster. Identification of commercial relevant target audience: A market model clarifies the commercial potential in 2025-30. By this any prioritization task is more effective. The project has on top revealed a new sub-segment making the addressable market 30% larger. Insight based mapping of end-users, decision makers, and strategists: The innovation team is now able to make insights driven decisions based both on end-users' jobs and pains. Lead on identification of the sweet spot between business viability, end-user desirability, and technical feasibility: By factually scoring all three perspectives across potential new product candidates, the number of relevant candidates are reduced by 50%.
