I have worked in telecommunications for the last 18 years, with the last 12 spent in dynamic international environments.
Over that time, the sector has undergone profound technological, commercial and sociological shifts and I use my deep understanding of these to help Nokia Networks predict, manage and succeed in the future.
I have deep and broad experience in sales and marketing as well as project management and business intelligence. I bring strong analytical capabilities, as well as the ability to simultaneously see the big picture and the detailed situation. With a background in engineering, I am at ease with highly technical discussions, but I have a strong grasp of commercial life and Finance and am able to translate even very complex technical ideas into business language. In the same way, I am able to convert insights into the future of technology and telecommunications into solid strategic principles. The most important thing is not for a company to understand the future – it is to convert that understanding into effective action. I am dedicated to driving that action.
Highly numerate, I am also very articulate and have a decade of experience in working with executives at CxO level. Well developed communication, presentation and negotiation skills have made me a valued member of sales, marketing, strategy and integration teams.
As a leader, I have been described as being result oriented with a pragmatic, energetic and hands-on leadership style. I believe in life-long learning and see every day as an opportunity to learn, to grow and to achieve.
In recent times I have become involved in a start-up and have gained valuable experience through this, which I have also been able to apply in a corporate environment with great succes
