Let’s talk about your assignment →How I can help
Interim management
Experienced leadership capacity when a key position is vacant, the business is growing, or the organisation is going through change. I get up to speed quickly, take independent ownership of operations, set direction and ensure a smooth handover.
Turnaround and change management
When operations or finances are under pressure, I help identify the root causes, prioritise actions and implement the necessary changes. The focus is on profitability, quality and clear accountability – with respect for employees and close follow-up on results.
Project management
Management of complex construction, refurbishment and implementation projects with a focus on budget, schedule, risk and coordination. I bring together management, operations, consultants and suppliers and follow the task through to commissioning and handover.
My experience covers logistics facilities, technical installations, security and logistics supporting data centre projects.
Operational improvement
Better planning, more stable deliveries and workflows that work in everyday life. I combine hands-on leadership with Lean Six Sigma, data and systematic problem solving, and anchor improvements together with managers and employees.
I also help translate quality, safety and certification requirements into day-to-day operations through clear procedures, clear accountability and systematic follow-up on deviations.

Harmonised workflows across five terminals at DB Schenker. Connected local operational needs with shared processes, clear responsibilities and systematic follow-up.
Quality, safety and compliance
Experience in turning standards and certification requirements into workflows that work in practice. At DB Schenker and NKT Nano, I have held management responsibility for quality and compliance. My experience covers ISO 9001, ISO 14001, TAPA A, AEO and HACCP, as well as audit preparation, follow-up on deviations, risk assessments and loss prevention.
I have worked according to quality and safety requirements within transport and logistics as well as the electronics, IT, medtech and automotive industries. Focus on clear accountability, systematic follow-up and anchoring the requirements in day-to-day operations.
About me
Practical, structured and close to both employees and management.
I have many years of experience in operations management, project management and change in logistics and industry. At DB Schenker, I was part of the top management of Schenker A/S, reporting to the CEO, with responsibility across business processes, safety, quality, Facility Management and Real Estate.
I am a chemical engineer from DTU (Technical University of Denmark) and have added a Graduate Diploma in Business (HD 1st part), PRINCE2 Practitioner and Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt.
My approach is simple: understand the task, get the facts on the table, set clear expectations and implement improvements together with the organisation. I get up to speed quickly on new assignments and take independent ownership – so I can add value from day one as an interim manager.
Alongside my professional work, I am a mentor at DTU Skylab and engaged in voluntary board work.
I work in Danish and English. Assignments can be arranged as a few days a week or full-time for a period.
