Director, CCP
Coloplast A/S
2014-01 - 2017-01
CCP (Coloplast Consumer Products) had since Coloplast sold the Compeed brand to Johnson and Johnson in 2002 been an independent business area within Coloplast. Consumer produces and develops Compeed® and Band-Aid® as a contract manufacturer for Johnson & Johnson.
Challenges: ● When I took charge of CCP, a decision to relocate the production from Denmark to Hungary had already been taken but execution had not started.
● The task was both to lead the Consumer organization while managing the relocation of production and integration of Consumer organization in our global and corporate functions in Coloplast ● Motivate an organization who for a year had known about the relocation ● Manage the customer (Johnson & Johnson), who did not want this relocation, since it created both challenges and work for them Achievements: ● Within 36 months, all production was transferred to Hungary. During the period we succeeded in meeting all quality, delivery, and financial targets ● The independent CCP organisation was integrated into our global and corporate functions without loss of competences ● Through an excellent cross-company collaboration with Johnson & Johnson we succeeded to execute the project with positive feedback from management within both companies.
First project of its kind for Johnson & Johnson where products world wide were in scope.
