    Operations Manager Nordics
    Weidmüller Nordic Apr 2016 - Present
    Malmo, Sweden
    As Nordic Operations Manager at Weidmüller I am managing the Supply Chain-, Customer Service- and Assembly Service teams. My focus is to create, develop and lead a lean organization by delivering more and better, with less. My team consists of 25 direct- and indirect reports, including team-leads and section managers, placed in the four Nordic countries.In a slim organization, it is crucial to create an as efficient team as possible. I have worked with clarifying roles, responsibilities, interfaces and expectations in the organization. I have also driven better system support, outsourced activities, moved activities towards the customer, supported by electronic order and configuration tools. This has created a more manageable workload, while at the same time reduced the number of customer complaints.I am driving a process awareness, based on the quality management system, consisting of an integrated process landscape, with clarified and accepted interfaces, roles and responsibilities; supported by KPI:s and metrics that enable progress and improvements to be measured. I have established scorecard methodology, which is the driver of process adherence and factual decision making.

    Sony Mobile Communications Aug 2009 - Jul 2011
    Tokyo, Japan
    On assignment in Tokyo to establish a function and roles previously not available, and to gather competences into one organization. The organizational complexity of the local office was hard to penetrate for an outsider, but I learned that unofficial networks was where decisions and progress were made. I had to study the unofficial decision making structure, in order to find the real decision makers in order to get things done. The core team consisted of six members, but I was also functionally responsible for other team deliverables.

    At the Swedish Trade Council/Exportrådet (now Business Sweden) I led and coordinated complex multi-market establishment projects.

After landing an assignment, I usually took over as project manager, performing and delivering market analyses and market strategies, finding strategic partnerships, recruitment and establishment of physical, as well as, legal entities. This experience gave me insight and experience in the tools of sales and marketing as well as project management – all with an international perspective.
  • Trygg-Hansa
    Customer Support Representative
    Trygg-Hansa Jan 1999 - Jun 1999
    Malmo, Sweden
    This short session, was a means to leave the safety of university, and it taught me the guts to pick up the phone, and talk to complete strangers, and the realization of the truth of the sales funnel. I also learned that truth, openness and actual knowledge about the products and services that you sell are key to success in sales. By simultaneously working with customer support and incoming calls, I learned what it takes to make a customer happy, as well and dealing with angry customers, and to maintain a high level of service mindedness. I was quite good at it! I also learned to respect a good sales pitch.
  • European Parliament
    Internship
    European Parliament Jan 1997 - Jul 1997
    Brussels Area, Belgium
    My first job after my first university degree taught me respect for the democratic traditions, the political machinery and the need for European cooperation. I learned the difficult balance between politicians and the civil servants. I got to practice what I had learned at university, in doing analysis, and compiling reports. I also learned that the slow moving of the political machinery, and how success is measured, was not for me at 25 years of age.
