Program Manager - Cloud, ERP, Transform.

In the past 20 years I have worked as an independent manager and advisor focusing on assisting C-level
management with building IT organisations and delivering cutting edge business driven IT/ERP solutions and technology, providing positive business outcome and increased business agility.

The strategic transformation programs have been extremely varied. From complex ERP transformations and process optimations due to business mergers, to digitally broadcast TV for mobile devices, strategic cloud
transformations, new business models and technologically advanced solutions to increase sales, cost reduction
programs as well as entire IT re-organisations and optimisations of agile working introducing a new DevOps
operating model.

Recently I have mainly worked with cloud transformations (Damco/Maersk and Ørsted) transforming business
applications and coaching entire organisations into an Agile DevOps way of working.

Program Leadership & IT Management - Management of technical and ERP transformation programs
including delivery and operational responsibility. Handling largescale re-organisations and setup of the agile
business driven IT function, delivering flexible and innovative ERP/cloud platforms driving the digital strategy.

Customer and Process Understanding - Throughout my career I have worked with customers and achieved a
deep knowledge and understanding of the entire process landscape within a company. I have worked extensively
with LEAN, analysed companies and optimised process- and capability models as well as off-shoring of administrative- and IT processes resulting in large savings.

Stakeholder management is one of my special competences, and I have often fulfilled this role in large political
organisations. In addition to this I have many years of experience with change leadership, where I have
successfully assessed, planned and executed large scale re-organisations as part of strategic ERP initiatives.

Tender management and contract negotiations. I often drive tender processes and manage the entire
selection process of strategic partners in relation to global strategic ERP initiatives. I have often managed
contract negotiations on behalf of the customers - negotiating both the commercial and delivery contract terms.

I provide organisational change leadership coaching staff on all levels of the organisation through the
substantial transformation effort - establishing new agile standards and ways of working for all employees, in the most streamlined and cost efficient manner.
