I work with technology, but my job is fundamentally about people and their needs. And it is the contact with people that is my driving force. For that reason, Universal Accessibility is one of the things close to my heart. Clear and intuitive interfaces for all digital surfaces is another issue I am passionate about, and is closely linked with accessibility.
Furthermore, good collaboration processes are important to me, and in development processes I would say that good teamwork is essential.

I'm driven by innovation and I practice Digital Transformation since I've started my career (twenty years ago). I've been working in very various transformation projects within the main and largest companies in Western Europe.

Each time, I've been involved at the very beginning of the project to think, design and build solutions. These projects aimed to improve business processes, to reduce costs, to improve user experience, to engage employee, to increase sales or revenue, to enhance customer satisfaction, etc.

I did these transformation's projects as a consultant, as a leader in a large organisation and now an exec in a Saas company. And I now manage the main triggers to really engage a deep transformation with my Customers.

I'm an IT analyst, architect, developer, project manager and trainer with more than twenty years of experience, working for a number of Swedish consulting companies and multinationals like Sony Ericsson and Tetra Pak. The last 15 years I spent in Tetra Pak's IT department, improving our Intranet.
