IT Transformation & Programme Leadership
Leading large IT and business transformations: target operating models, organisation and governance design, transition from today's setup to the target picture. Acting VP of a €320M / 2,500-person shared-services unit at Tieto (restructuring, ~10% cost reduction, targets slightly overachieved).
Global IT Operating Model, Sourcing & SIAM
Sourcing from both the client and the provider side, partner and supplier steering, multi-vendor SIAM operating models (HCL for UPM, €50M p.a.; SIAM offering at Tieto), transition and portfolio steering, turnaround of outsourced engagements (Cognizant: 500+ FTE, $40M+ ACV, Vorwerk).
AI in the Operating Model — hands-on
I run my own AI operating model every day: the right work on the right device with the right model, across servers, local and cloud models. I bring that to clients as AI adoption, AI governance (EU AI Act) and leadership that makes AI part of how people work.
Board-level Communication & Stakeholder Management
Steering-committee and board materials that turn complex multi-workstream programmes into clear decisions. Industries: financial services (12 years AXA Tech; multi-tenant GCP for Samlink) and manufacturing (UPM, Cargotec, Vorwerk, Nokia).

Project history
Independent IT management consultancy: transformation and leadership, hands-on with AI. AI adoption and AI governance (EU AI Act), fractional CIO and board-advisor mandates, SIAM and governance consulting, often together with partners. I run my own AI operating model every day and bring that practice to clients. VikingPLoP 2026 paper (a pattern language for early-stage consulting); invited speaker on leadership and practical AI at a developer company retreat in Bhutan (May 2026).
End-to-end accountability for large outsourced engagements in the Nordics and DACH (500+ FTE, $40M+ ACV), with several IT and business transformations. Turnaround of the Vorwerk account: rebuilt CIO trust through transparent governance and structured change management; within 6–12 months the relationship moved from active risk to strong working trust. Drove a multi-year SAP S/4HANA transformation. Set up a multi-tenant GCP environment with full regulatory compliance for Samlink’s shared core-banking programme. Steering-committee and board materials that turned complex multi-workstream programmes into clear executive decisions.
Acting VP Shared Services (€320M revenue, 2,500 people): restructured the unit, ~10% headcount and cost reduction with targets slightly overachieved, quality and employee satisfaction kept; transparent union negotiations for 200+ positions. Head of Strategic Transitions / Director Transition & Transformation: led the company-wide Transition & Transformation community, governed the transition portfolio from sales to continuous services, built the transition PM community and a central PMO that materially shortened proposal turnaround on major bids. Director IT Service Management: renewal of Managed Services, Digital Service Channel and Delivery Automation. Established SIAM as a dedicated business service offering.
