Head Of Digital Factory Afry X
In the beginning of 2021 AFRY started the new unit, AFRY X, to work across the company to excel in the digital offerings to the clients. As Head of the Digital Factory, I built a software product development unit from scratch. The Digital Factory goal was to be able to manage the lifecycle of digital solutions, including development, maintenance and operation. It was an exciting journey that included identification of what a product development unit needs in terms of competence and support, setup of processes and tools, recruitment and onboarding. An extremely important task was identifying what culture we wanted and engage in achieving that. I am very proud of what we achieved in a short time. We were a leadership team, which was truly a team, with dedicated development leaders which in turn were leading several agile teams and a DevSecOps support team. We also had a team creating an AFRY design system. The Digital Factory became a unit with very talented people living the culture we aimed for. As part of the AFRY X leadership team I was also engaged in developing the digital strategy and overall portfolio, together with colleagues in all parts of AFRY.
