The facility is part of the global pharmaceutical enterprise AstraZeneca, and has today focus on two therapeutic areas, Cardiovascular & Metabolic diseases and Respiratory & Inflammatory & Autoimmunity diseases. Karolin was hired as a Project Manager and System Developer. One of her first task was to take responsibility for development and delivery of an application used for documentation of preclinical studies. This application was very appreciated due to its usefulness and user friendliness and quite soon became globally spread and used. Karolin has held various roles and focused her work on a variety of areas over the years. In addition to roles and tasks in the project management and system developing areas, she has also had tasks and roles as Business Analyst and Business Relationship Manager. In addition, Karolin is also very much appreciated for her deep technical skills as an informatician. As such she has delivered numerous customized solutions in the field of image analysis and for the visualization and analysis of large amounts of data. This kind of work demands very close collaboration/partnership with the scientists and appreciation for the science in focus. Karolin has always been eager to learn and add new knowledge and skills to her “portfolio” and sometimes even found her own ways, outside AZ, to study e.g. statistics. She also very much enjoys to learn when in contact with new scientific and informatics challenges. Karolin has always taken on great responsibility for everything she has done and thus delivered with very high quality. She is very customer-oriented and service-minded, resulting both in especially user friendly systems and solutions that many times exceeds expectations, as well as satisfied customers that express very high trust in her. Feedback from her customers displays that she often “adds” to the solution, that she uses her experience, knowledge and skills to make solutions not even imagined by the customer. In everything she does, Karolin has a holistic, broad, long-term and at the same time pragmatic thinking, which creates a firm foundation for her excellent output. She is also very clear in her communication, clear with expectations etc., and is thus rapidly building and then maintaining trust. With her open and friendly attitude, and her willingness to always help out, Karolin is also highly appreciated by her colleagues. She has used her empathic skills, not only in her customer interactions, but also in her work as her colleague’s elected union representative. I have now been Karolin’s line manager for approximately 6 years and with my knowledge of her I would like to give her my very best recommendations and wish her the very best for the future. Pia Lorentzon, Ph.D. Business Relationship Leader, AstraZeneca"
