I redesign how large, cross-functional organisations work — operating models, processes, ways of working — and make change stick. I turn AI from pilots into concrete changes in how people work, and lead people through it.

Selected transformation impact
Lifted weekly GenAI-tool use (incl. Copilot) from 65% to 100% of the organisation in two months. (Novo Nordisk)
Initiated, developed and executed an AI adoption strategy across a 150-person organisation — identified high-value use cases, evaluated and deployed AI productivity tools (incl. Microsoft Copilot and GenAI platforms), and redesigned working practices to embed new ways of working that lifted individual and team productivity. Weekly use of GenAI tools went from 65% to 100% of the 150-person organisation within two months.
Defined the target operating model and launched the first AI business cases. (Novo Nordisk)
Built and led a data, digitalisation & IT team serving a VP area of ~650 people; defined the data and digitalisation roadmap, operating model, stakeholder model, and AI/digital use-case portfolio. First AI business cases delivered included doubling the efficiency of deviation documentation and the digital transformation of the GMP document-approval workflow.
Built big-tech, startup and academic partnerships; automated lab and data flows for ~2× efficiency. (2022–23)
Championed AI and bioinformatics scouting and partnerships with big tech, startups and academia; implemented automation of lab and data flows for ~2× efficiency. Led a Centre of Excellence integrating laboratory R&D with bioinformatics and data science — building shared ways of working between bench scientists and computational specialists.
Piloted and scaled new agile teams across global R&D; Lean redesign lifted output 2–3×. (2020)
Developed, piloted and implemented the first agile teams, ways of working and a new R&D operating model, then scaled across global R&D. Earlier, led end-to-end Lean process redesign that lifted output 2–3× while growing the organisation from 50 to 75+ people.
