Business Development Director
Sonla
BillerudKorsnäs provides packaging materials and solutions that challenge conventional packaging for a sustainable future. I am working at BillerudKorsnäs as Business Development Director, responsible for business development within our business unit Managed Packaging. We help large global brands develop, optimize, and implement transport and retail packaging solutions that yield significant operational savings and sustainability improvements through their supply chain. I work globally within Managed Packaging and primarily support our sales organization in our three regions; Americas, EMEA, and SEA to reach our aggressive growth targets. My work includes developing our business offer in terms of both products and services, analyzing and defining what segments to enter, plan our entry and manage pilot business for our customers. I am also responsible for developing our value proposition, new business models, and supporting tools. As an example, we have developed an environmental tool which calculates the environmental impact of packaging throughout the entire supply chain - from paper production to end-of-life of the packaging and comparing different packaging solutions. This supports our designers during product development and our sales in their communications with our customers. Previously I was part of our Corrugated Solutions and Containerboard divisions. I was responsible for the business development linked to our material - liner and fluting. This included finding new applications and segments for our materials, as well as working with end-use customers. As the Business Development Director, I was the chairman of our Innovation Team. This was a multi-functional and global team responsible for the development of our services and solutions offer. I was also member of the Business Team Fluting and Marketing strategy team, which were responsible for the business areas product development and strategic marketing plan.
