What I'm looking for

I’m open to international opportunities and relocation across Europe.

At Pemtec AB, part of Debe Flow Group, I’m responsible for warehouse and logistics operations and drive cross-functional Lean improvements. A time study and process analysis I conducted identified two unnecessary steps and improved process efficiency by approximately 25%.

I also established standardized warehouse routines that contributed to approximately 17% higher efficiency in relevant activities. I developed a business case enabling approximately 3,000 m² of additional storage capacity.

At CEVA LOGISTICS MOBILITY AB, I held operational responsibility for Value Added Services across Kitting, Configuration and Aftersales, leading 23 employees. Time studies and process-level KPIs contributed to approximately 15% higher productivity in Kitting.

Earlier, I supported supplier packaging improvements at VOLVO GROUP, including an improvement corresponding to approximately SEK 20,000 in weekly savings. I’m open to international opportunities and relocation across Europe.
