About Jon Asgeirsson

I thoroughly enjoy what I do: bringing together diverse, multidisciplinary teams, whether local or globally dispersed. My primary leadership style is collaborative but always with drive - I´m described as being respectful, if sometimes pleasantly impatient. People interest me and I enjoy helping individuals grow and coaching teams to perform.Since my twenties, I care deeply about equality and I have been active on that front - first in my personal sphere but also by leading workgroups at work and in associations.Having started my career in roll-up-the-sleeves shop floor management, I have accumulated extensive lateral and international experience. I am at ease with leading in a matrix organisation, scoping and solving complex business problems and leading strategic initiatives from development through execution - communicating effectively at all levels.I have successfully lead operations, supply chains and business transformations as well as B2B sales, marketing and strategic sourcing for multiple sites. With a solid background in science and engineering, I also have meaningful experience in finance, sales & marketing and in industry analysis. I have developed deep understanding of global market dynamics for commodities such as aluminium, petroleum coke and silicon metal.Skills:• Team Building, Employee Selection & Training• Employee engagement• Project Management• Cross-Cultural Management• Stakeholder and Risk assessment• Transformation and Change Management• Budgeting and Forecasting• Financial Management & Analysis• Communication & Presentation• Strategy development• Global and Regional Market Analysis for Power, Commodities and Value-Added Products• Market Segmentation• Contract Management: Joint Ventures, Sales & Supply• Sales Management• Negotiations & Negotiation Strategy Setting• Crisis Management• Lean 6 Sigma• Working Capital Optimization
