Economist by education, with Master studies on International Business and Management, I have been working with Human Resources since the beginning of my professional career. In my rotations in various HR positions within the A.P. Møller-Mærsk Group, the Danske Bank Group, Novo Nordisk A/S, Chr Hansen A/S and currently IKEA, I had the opportunity to be exposed to all aspects of HR activities; from the creation and implementation of HR strategies and OD initiatives, to partnering with the business managers and execution of operational HR activities, and everything else in between. My current focus is to further develop the Total Rewards framework of IKEA to better suit the needs of the many, with a distinct focus on the co-worker experience. Specialties: Performance and Rewards with a flair for HRIT systems.
