About

"In times of change, those who embrace learning will shape the future, while those who rely solely on existing knowledge may find themselves unprepared for a world that is evolving." – Alistair Smith I bring extensive experience in IT Management on a global scale, with a proven track record of leading teams to achieve results. I have been with ABB for 18 years ( as a consultant on ABB-21 years), serving in various roles both locally and globally within the corporate IS function. My journey began as a consultant, followed by two years in ABB Process Automation and 1.5 years at ABB Power Products (now Hitachi), where I focused on diverse areas. The majority of my career has been spent in the CIO Office, first in Sweden and then globally from IS Corporate Function, Zurich. My background is rooted in telecommunications infrastructure, having worked with companies such as Ericsson, Sony Ericsson, and Sigma. During my time at Sigma, I transitioned into application areas, which laid the foundation for my comprehensive knowledge in IS IT. I have led large-scale transformations, projects, and programs globally, with expertise in IT Management, Quality, Processes, Risk, Compliance, and Influential leadership. I am results-oriented and prefer to work in a structured manner, regardless of my location. I value the opportunity to engage with diverse cultures and foster a strong team spirit focused on achieving results. Ultimately, I believe that maintaining a positive and enjoyable work environment is essential for success.
