  • Director, Offer Management in Nordic zone

    Copenhagen
    2020.10-2021.11(a year)
    (1 year 2 months) Leading a strong and inspiring team of Business Offer Managers in Sweden, Norway, Denmark & Finland, working with the brands of Schneider Electric, ELKO and Lauritz Knudsen (LK). Smart Home, Energy Management, Sustainability, Innovation, Partnerships and Brand-strategy are just few of the areas of responsibility we bring on top of the products. We want to continuously add more value towards the Electricians and the End Customers, and one of the means is to bring "Connectivity" to our offer, which we call "Wiser". A strong & sustainable Smart Home system that will help transform the way we perceive and utilize Energy Management inside our homes. My role is to make sure we as a team are on the top of the business in the countries, close to the operation (Sales, Marketing, Channel etc.) and that we understand the value chain of Distributors, Electricians, Specifiers, Contractors, End Users, DIY, e-tailers and more. Schneider Electric offers a great value in the Residential and Commercial segment - we just need to make sure the world around us knows it as well!
  • Business Development Manager, Nordic Baltic

    Ballerup
    2019.11-2020.10(a year)
    In charge of various strategic projects on Zone and local level, focusing on our Home & Distribution business unit. Being in close contact with the teams across Nordics as well as Global allowed me to become the glue of connecting multiple stakeholders to make strong improvements. My role was also to shape and prepare the launch of our new Nordic Offer Management in the Zone, which has been significant transformation for the Zone. Being part of the Nordic Management allowed me to work even closer on certain topics, where I could offer my input/expertise to the participants.
  • Distribution Channel Manager

    Denmark
    2015.10-2017.09(2 years)
    Responsible for all Danish distributors that are doing business with Schneider Electric Denmark. I am passionate about establishing and developing strong partnerships, with the goal to position Schneider Electric as >the< no. 1 supplier. This requires a holistic approach, various skills and an adapting mind, where every aspect from Gross Margin to Stocking Policies become an important brick in the puzzle; not only for Schneider Electric, but also towards our customers and ultimately our end-customers. Having the responsibility for the entire Schneider Electric basket, I also need to know about how to differentiate segments (Industry OEM, Retail, Panel Builders etc.) to structure the approach and setup of the targets and commercial agreements I set. Life is ON!
