Senior project manager and PM Team lead
Geoinfo

2020-06 - 2022-12

Geoinfo is the Danish distributor of Esri software - the world's leader in GIS (Geographical Information Systems). I worked on a number of smaller (<500 hrs), and several large projects for the Danish Roads directorate (Vejdirektoratet), the Danish Geodata agency (Geodatastyrelsen) and the Danish Defense force (Forsvaret). One of the larger, completed project was the following: Geodatastyrelsen - replacement of software to produce Nautical maps for Denmark, the Faroe Islands the the Danish Arctic region This was the first implementation of ArcGIS Maritime extension in Europe, replacing the Caris platform. Due to the required perfect quality for such maps and the maturity of the software involved, this was a very challenging project that took about 3 years and 15.000 man hours to complete. I took over the project after the previous project manager experienced a burnout due to stress, at a point in time where the acceptance test had failed, the project was already 1 year delayed, and tension levels were high.

Omada delivers services within identity and access governance, risk management, compliance, and governance. This business critical, enterprise software sits at the very core of an organization's IT landscape. I worked as a project manager for several projects. During my tenure at Omada, the company was growing at an exponential rate while the core product was still maturing. This meant projects were typically understaffed and underestimated, making project management very challenging.
/ Ingenico (7.500 employees) - implementation of Omada IDM Ingenico is a payment solution provider that delivers payment terminals and services across the world. This project was used by Omada to introduce a SaaS version of the IDM platform, in cooperation with a Polish SaaS/DevOps team.

They were in the process of replacing their aging IDM solution, which was at that point integrated to over 250 systems ranging from archaic mainframes to modern cloud-based applications. All these integrations needed to be rewritten entirely. With a short timeline and high visibility, this was a daunting project.
