About Me
I am an executive leader specialized in AI-driven industrial transformation, Software-Defined Manufacturing, and large-scale strategy execution.
Over the past 30+ years, I have worked with leading Nordic industrial companies, helping them design and implement next-generation digital capabilities across manufacturing, process industry, and ICT-intensive environments. My core strength lies in bridging business strategy, IT/OT architecture, AI, and operational execution — turning emerging technologies into measurable business value.
Currently, I lead Intelligent Industry initiatives focusing on:
- AI & Digital Portfolio Leadership
- Software-Defined Manufacturing (SDM)
- Industrial IT/OT convergence
- Digital Twin & Data Platforms
- ERP, MES & PLM transformations
- AI-ready architectures and Generative AI use cases
- Industrial service innovation & new business models
I operate confidently at C-level, combining strategic clarity with hands-on program leadership. I have led complex transformation portfolios spanning ERP (e.g. S/4HANA), MES, PLM, data & analytics platforms, AI proof-of-concepts, and factory-level digital architecture renewals.
My leadership style is structured, goal-oriented and execution-focused. I thrive in environments where technology, innovation, and business strategy intersect — especially in capital-intensive industrial ecosystems.
