Together with a lot of colleagues I was responsible for the project management of a large Business Central project in 5 countries including all surrounding systems - WMS, Purchase planning, order management systems and POS etc.My main focus was to make sure sure that our customers got a fantastic omnichannel experience, when they visit HiFi Klubben.

I worked as a freelance IT project manager at Konvena Consulting, helping various companies to maximize the output of their IT projects.

I helped 3C retail to document and implement GDPR in their IT department making sure that they fulfilled the requirements set by the Danish "datatilsyn"

Project manager for master data and data migration project, which unfortunately was terminated before time.

Project manager for an Axapta 2012 Roll-out in UK

Eventyrsport has in recent years grown so large that they need a professional Warehouse Management System to manage their central warehouse. As a project manager my responsibility was to help them specify their needs, choose the vendor and optimize the warehouse processes. During the project the main emphasis of my work was to be the daily project- and test manager and coordinate the communication between Eventyrsport and the supplier of the WMS (PCsys) to ensure that the solution was delivered in accordance with the contract. On the 1. day after go-live the project was already announced a success. We were able to deliver all the orders to the customers – and the KPIs of the project – picking-, packing- and goods receiving time – were already improved significantly.

Worked as a project manager for a BI project at one of our affiliates as well as for an initiative that aimed at rolling out an intercompany setup to a major part of the business. I was also project manager for a process optimazation project regarding two of our PtP (procure-to-pay) processes, which aims at introducing a release strategy for our purchase orders and improve our vendor invoice handling.

I worked as a full time SAP project manager in a Scandinavian roll-out project from October 2013 going live January 2015. The project organization consisted of around 10 consultants, 6 teamleads and 40 key users. Our main focus was on ensuring that the business needs were aligned with the template, and that the plan and budget were kept. Furthermore we had a strong focus on making the users understand that this was a business project more than an IT project. Before that I worked as a project manager within all areas of project management (from business case till support after go-live) with different kinds of project regarding IT and business development including Axapta 4, MS CRM, office, invoice handling etc etc. My main focus is always on adding as much value as possible to the business through the change management part of the project, since it is my experience that the human part is often the most critical part of the project.

I was primarily involved in a large SAP R/3 implementations and the development and maintenance of the EDI structure
