Summary
More than 10 years experience with polymer technology - I have worked as consultant in
materials selection, materials development, polymer analysis, mechanical testing, polymer
processing and teaching in polymer technology. I have also experience with development of
medical devices made of polymers at Coloplast.
5 years experience as Project Manager responsible for key projects in the Wound Care Division
at Coloplast. I have been responsible for several projects; one being the development of a new
wound care dressing to secure a strong portfolio. The product Biatain is a major brand and has
today a 3-digit mln. DKK turnover.
7 years experience with product development as Manager in R&D - I have demonstrated good
skills in managing the people, innovation/technology and business interaction.
As part of the R&D management team I worked on overall planning, project prioritization, resource
allocation and pre-project evaluations. My responsibility also covered leading development and
IPR work ensuring high quality, ISO, GxP and regulatory understanding as well as customer focus
using e.g. Lean.
Personal qualifications
Others describe me as:
Empathic – Good to listen and understand what is on peoples mind enabling me to better match
the professional with the personal situation increasing results
Curious – My attitude to technical challenges as an example is to search to understand what is
behind a situation like e.g. why a plastic component might fail in service
Analytical – I encounter a problem with a systematic approach by working from a hypothesis and
setting up an investigation plan
Creative – Thinking out of the box has shown to contribute to good solutions in my work on
development projects
Patient and persistent – working with contractors this has proven to be a valuable skill in the
complex processes and collaborations this may be occasionally
