Maritime management professional with experience in logistics, procurement and LEAN.
What I'm looking for
As a seasoned maritime management professional, I have developed a strong background in logistics and procurement. With a Master's degree in Maritime Management from Chalmers University of Technology, I have honed my skills in structuring transactions, drafting agreements, and negotiating with buyers and sellers. My experience in procurement and flow specialization has given me a unique perspective on optimizing outcomes and improving operational efficiency.
Throughout my career, I have demonstrated my ability to champion lean methodologies, drive improvement initiatives, and empower teams to handle inefficiencies. My passion for continuous improvement and customer value has led me to take on various roles, from procurement officer to flow specialist. I am committed to working smarter, not harder, and optimizing outcomes.
In addition to my professional experience, I am an active member of the YoungShip Association and have participated in the Young Presidents' Organization Next Generation program. I am fluent in Swedish and English, and I am currently learning Spanish. I am excited to leverage my skills and experience to drive growth and improvement in my next role.
