I am the Business Area Manager for Solutions at MilDef. My role includes the strategic development responsibility for our Solutions business area, as well as being the responsible leader for our project management office at Solutions in Helsingborg. I serve as the link between our sales channels and our technology department to ensure that we can win larger and more complex deals while also making sure we have the right conditions to deliver them.

I have had the opportunity to build a fantastic career at MilDef. I started as a Sales Support when we were just 21 people in the company, now we more then 300 employees. Since then, I have worked as a Project Coordinator and Project Manager in Product Development before I had the opportunity to start the Sales Support section. I spent a few years as the technical lead in our company in Sweden/Nordics. In 2020, after taking the initiative myself, I was given the opportunity to establish the Solutions section, where I have been driving everything from business development, processes, recruitment, and deliveries. Today, we are a great team of 16 people, and we are continuously growing.

At work, I get energized by stepping into new, unexplored areas where I can use my experience to provide a clear and inspiring vision for the way forward. In my free time, hunting with my dog is something I try to dedicate a lot of my time to. It is a great way to recharge, reflect, and also a rewarding experience when my dog gets to do what he loves the most.

I started at MilDef as an Order Coordinator and, after some time, got the opportunity to step into the role of Teamlead Order Coordinator. My work consists of administering and coordinating all customer orders, from order to delivery. The role has developed a lot in a short time, and I have had the opportunity to grow along with it. As a team leader, my job is about having a helicopter perspective, leading the group forward, and ensuring that we reach our goals. Part of my work also involves participating in various project groups and representing my function. I have a competitive spirit and am driven by seeing results, both for myself and for the team. By the end of the year, we should be exactly where we want to be!

We focus a lot on social activities and collaboration, and through that, we build strong relationships and a sense of belonging that makes MilDef a fantastic workplace.

I appreciate the teamwork, the inclusive culture, and the opportunity to take on new challenges. I am proud to be a part of MilDef. It's also important to me that we promote health and movement, as I am a very active person who likes to exercise and stay active. I am also happy that we actively participate in charity projects to make a positive difference in the community.

For me, it is important to have fun at work. We spend a large part of our time here, and working with a smile makes everything so much better. In my private life, I get a lot of energy from running, it is my time to clear my mind and recharge. But of course, it is also my family and my children who give me the greatest joy and energy in everyday life.
