What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, where I can leverage my product management skills to drive user-centric solutions and contribute to a dynamic team.

I am a results-driven Product Manager with extensive experience in fast-paced environments in both Sweden and Silicon Valley. My hands-on approach to managing change, conducting user research, and making data-driven decisions has allowed me to create significant value and drive results. I thrive on collaboration and iteration, always aiming to enhance user experience and satisfaction.

As the CEO and Product Manager at Munkeby Systems, I led a transformative shift towards a modern SaaS organization, focusing on customer centricity and exceptional UX. My leadership in redesigning our SaaS platform resulted in a 50% reduction in task completion time for over 50,000 enterprise users. I have successfully implemented user-centric practices and streamlined internal processes, fostering a culture of innovation and efficiency.

My previous roles at Google and Chapter Inc. have further honed my strategic thinking and creative problem-solving skills. I have collaborated with diverse teams globally, contributing to significant projects that improved product offerings and brand strategies. I am passionate about continuous learning and growth, always seeking opportunities to expand my knowledge and expertise in product management.
