Digital Project Leader

Summary

My personal strengths are that I am result and goal focused, very committed and loyal. I am a calm and humble person and can easily adopt to changes or new ways of working. I am good at cooperating and building trust with others.


What motivates me is to constantly develop the business and digital solutions that improves the business and the customer shopping experience.
I'm also motivated to learn and develop in new areas as well as trying out and develop new ways of working.


In my leadership I'm customer and business focused. I strive to deliver business result by trying out new ideas and question or improve existing solutions. I want everyone to feel involved and take responsibility by communicating the goal in a simple way.

I am good managing expectations, translate business requirements in to digital requirements. Risk management, finding key deliverables for a project.


I have a quite broad IKEA experience (24 years) working with logistics, sales, customer service and IT both in Service office / store / CSC and on a global level.

I have a good business and customer understanding, I try to see the simplicity in challenges and focus on opportunities.

I'm good at working cross-functional (both local and global) gathering the business requirements, supporting business representatives in specifying business requirements and translate that in to the digital development to clearly set and manage the expectations.
