Where I have worked
I’m a product manager. I started in research and development, then led teams and delivered across a whole company. Today I manage IoT products: the connected devices and the software and data behind them.

Work experience

Anticimex Innovation Center
Product Manager, Smart Device Solutions
anticimex.com (opens in a new tab)Anticimex is modernizing pest management with connected devices. I own its IoT products from discovery to end of life, and work to make the workflow across device, software and data run smoothly. Before anything gets built, I test whether it is valuable, viable, usable and feasible with experiments, prototypes and user tests. What technicians have taught me so far: avoiding unnecessary work orders from misread data or faulty signals matters more than features.
- Finished the launch of SMART Box 7, the newest multi-catch trap, which brought stronger cybersecurity. Ran launch support while technicians learned a new install.
- Interviewed technicians and stakeholders on what the launch got right and wrong, and own the maintenance releases and improvements since.

Verisure Innovation
Product Manager, alarm chain, Business Systems IT
verisure.com (opens in a new tab)I led hardware and software development for the alarm chain in Technology North, on its Executive Management team, across the Nordics, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and the UK. That chain is every system between a sensor going off and an operator deciding what to do, and it handled over 200,000 signals and alarms a day.
- Launched the Timestamps Report in Power BI, which let engineers find failing devices and broken integrations by following an alarm through every stage of the chain.
- Led Advanced Monitoring. Alarms were prioritized by fixed rules and operator judgment, so urgent alerts could wait behind low-risk ones. The new system uses LLMs trained on alarm history to rate each alarm’s risk from its time, region, weather and sensor inputs. It was in rollout when I left.
- Led the company-wide EN 50136 audit in 2023. Some markets require this certification to sell monitored alarms, and we were certified with no issues.

Tetra Pak
Team Leader, Product Lifecycle Management 2021 to February 2023
Senior Project Manager May 2018 to 2021
tetrapak.com (opens in a new tab)I led projects building hardware and software upgrade kits for obsolete components. With the Obsolescence team of nine, I decided what to do with each product at risk: a final stock buy, a bridge buy, an upgrade kit, or closing it. As Team Leader I ran the company-wide Obsolescence Network, which made those calls for every portfolio.
- Built the Flexbox 6 Upgrade Kit before the old parts ran out, so over 800 machines across Europe kept running on Tetra Pak packaging material.
- Added a gate to the product development process: no design passed without answering its sustainability questions.

R&D Designer January 2015 to February 2016
siemens-energy.com (opens in a new tab)As Project Manager I ran R&D projects that brought new technology into product development.

- Siemens patented my thesis design.
- Delivered product increments for the new SGT-800 turbine.
