Lund, Sweden

Working as senior product manager focusing on the North American market. Having a long experience from product management specifically and managerial positions, also assisting in the transformation of the company. General organisational changes as well as process improvement initiatives in the product management area.

My skills to understand a problem domain and build a professional network were necessary when I took this position, as this was a part of the company I had not worked in before and most of the team, around 25 persons, was new to me. I was managing a technical group responsible for developing and maintaining a selection of software services and products.

The essential skills I used as product manager are creating professional network and communication skills. The setup was global with all the challenged that comes with it, e.g. time zone differences, limited ability to meet in person, etc. Another challenge is to be able to convince others and drive requirements with little formal authority; instead.

Taking this position required me to re-form my relationship with my collegues and professional network with surrounding organisations, as I used to be part of this group before I became a manager of it. I also used my skills to influence people, as the organization was going through a change in how we work. I was managing a group of SW product managers..

I was the product manager for the software part in the Xperia Z and ZL phones. Basically, everything in the phone related to software, whether low level platform features or high level apps, I managed the product decisions. I worked closely with the business side, to understand the business value of different software features, and with the development.

I primarily worked as product owner for the Telephony area. The mobile network operators have a lot of requirements in the Telephony area. Hence, I worked a lot with different operators and their requirements in this area. This included having both a short-term dialogue to fix issues for imminent launches as well as long-term discussions to outline.

When I worked as team leader for a group of project managers, the biggest challenge was the constant pressure to deliver results and at the same time be able to work with the team to develop the individuals and improve our way of working. The team was assigned to support and monitor feature project team in their planning and execution phases and to plan.

As requirements engineer, I worked with our products and platform software planners and developers to understand and analyse the requests and detail the understanding and limitations. The challenges were two-fold; firstly, a mobile phone is built up of a large software base making it difficult to understand the complete scope; secondly, supporting the.

At Fraunhofer, I worked with requirements engineering, focusing on how to improve the working processes for software developing companies. We were working with cutting edge methodologies, which we in the scientific work developed and in the consulting side of the business helped companies to implement and roll out in their organisation.
