Tech, Product, and Business Development

With nearly two decades of problem-solving experience in the ocean industries, I've developed a strong foundation in operations, design, technology, product, and business development. Over the years, I've worked with various organizations, from startups to large international companies, helping to solve complex problems and drive innovation.

My approach to problem-solving is rooted in empathy and understanding. I take the time to listen to stakeholders, identify their pain points, and analyze data and trends to uncover insights, allowing me to develop practical solutions that meet both user needs and business goals.

In my roles, I've been responsible for driving strategic design work and leading creative design teams. At Kongsberg Maritime, as Head of Creative Design, I advocate for the role of user experience, design, and research in making more data-driven decisions. I work closely with middle and upper leadership to connect UX to the broader business organization, and I'm constantly promoting design and design collaboration throughout the company.

As a Technical Manager in Harmonization, Product Line Automation, I was focused on applying research and cohesion across all Automation & Bridge Systems product areas and all KM markets. In this role, I introduced and managed a project that developed and published unified KM HMI guidelines, conducted user research and feedback sessions on proposed design changes and harmonized design guidelines, and proposed a remote pilotage solution using existing hardware for quick implementation during the COVID-19 crisis.

In all my roles, I've worked to bridge the gap between technology and people, ensuring that products and services are functional, user-friendly, and aesthetically pleasing. I'm passionate about leveraging technology to solve real-world problems and enhance user experiences.

Overall, my experience in problem-solving, coupled with my passion for design, technology, product, and business development, has enabled me to make a meaningful impact in the industry. I look forward to continuing to drive innovation and help organizations solve complex challenges in the future.
