As an IT project manager at the Landbrugsstyrelsen, I am responsible for initiating a complex cross-functional project aimed at developing IT support for the upcoming regulation of agriculture. I have currently achieved the following results:Facilitated cross-functional project meetings and workshops to gain a deeper understanding of the project's scope and a shared overview of the upcoming IT requirements during the analysis phase. I also identified risks, gains and potential challenges to ensure a smooth process. Thereby ensuring that issues and miscommunication was identified early on to create a more streamlined cross-functional project.Prepared detailed management presentations on the background of the mathematical models to enhance understanding of the necessary data infrastructure and IT solution requirements. This effort put the IT team months ahead of schedule due an increased efficiency in grasping the scope of the necessary IT solution.Established connections between previous analysis results and the current project to provide recommendations and plans for the upcoming project process. I maintained close communication with other departments in the agency and ensured collaboration with stakeholders. By revising conclusions from older iterations of the project, I was able to highlight areas that had been mismanaged and where we needed to focus our efforts in order to gain traction in the analysis phase.My time at the Danish Agriculture Agency has further strengthened my project management skills and I chose to underscore those abilities by obtaining my PRINCE2 certification and subsequent courses in Agile and SAFe project management.

During my time at Verisk, I worked as a Senior Analyst II and Manager, and had the following responsibilities:Managed both short-term and long-term IT projects within our Boston team, involving close collaboration with other departments in Research and customization of our product in partnership with external customers and stakeholders. This iterative process ensured that our results were in line with the expectation of the stakeholders and prevented unnecessaryrework and delays.As part of our software development projects, I led our team in India in close coordination with our Boston team, which included daily project management and long-term planning. My efforts resulted in quality deliverables from our India team that provided the work that our teams needed. My close collaboration provided quick and constructive feedback in order to align expectations in both our Boston and India team.Initiated and executed process improvement projects, resulting in enhanced workflow for the entire team and optimized project planning. I initiated and implemented an improved issue tracking system to facilitate easier tracking of common and shared bugs in our database projects and customized the system to different applications used in daily meetings, such as Microsoft Teams and Visual Studio. Shared the responsibility of the hiring process of new analysts and oversaw the training of new hires. I also created documentation for our work processes and SQL best-practices, which proved to be an invaluable resource for new team members. This document was iteratively updated to include new innovation and database structure. When we onboarded a large number of new hires, this document proved essential to get everyone up to speed and quickly grasp the process of our database development.I was nominated for "Analyst of The Year" in Verisk's Research department twice due to my contributions.
