As Product Manager I am in the lead of a Product Team. The team consists of representatives from market and sales, manufacturing/sourcing and research and development. We use lean methods to prioritize, select and finialize the most valuable projects to acchive our business goals. 

A combined position, where I followed and managed the business development process (or Innovation process) from lead Idea to a business with recurring orders for a final product.As Program Manager, I was overall responsible for the outcome of our development projects, from technical, economical and time plan point of view. I held weekly meetings with all.

I continued to develop new electrochemical business from Permascands core know how.

Business area Special Electrodes covered electrochemical appIications such as electrowinning, hydrogen, HVDC, corrosion, electrochemical synthesis etc. I was responsible for establishing sales budget and result.

For a period of time, I combined my development work with some sales work in the field of Special Anodes.Mainy I was serving existing clients with quotations, registered orders and made sure that the orders were delivered.In contact with new clients, I could help to evaluate opportunities, using my understanding for applied industrial electrochemistry

As development engineer I led and participated in several product development projects. Projects that lead to patents, new coatings and products to the market.

I made research and development on electrocatalysts, electrode- and cell- design, for various industial electrochemical processes.

My first assignment at Permascand was to set up and run a laboratory pilot cell for the chlor-alkali membrane cell process. This was a fun challange as I had to use both my theoretical and practical skills, to get the system up and running as a small scale industrial process. Among other things, we used the pilot to investigate different electrode.
