1. Curriculum Vitae
Sandra Lekse
The most important thing for me is to be challenged and to be in the right
role and the right role and the right environment and get that ‘gut-tingling’. This for me
brings joy and motivation and then I also know from experience that it will
end up in a good result. At the same time I also strive to continually
improve, develop and grow – both as a person and in my profession.
Summary
Focus the last years has been leadership and business
development/strategy. This within companies, projects and change
management and in different type of industries – from group levels to
management levels.
The challenge to start, run and above all complete deliveries efficiently
and with an economic perspective is something I am passionate about. I
have an ability to see the big picture before the details, which makes me
m more of a generalist than a specialist. My strength lies in creating, building
and leading businesses, departments and projects and here I act both as
a ‘thinker’ and as a ‘doer’.
My success is much based on realizing opportunities by making
difference and imprint. Important for me then is that I both believe in and
feel feel for my task and/or for the objectives I am suppose to lead my group
against – due to that you ‘leak what you think’.
Characteristic for me is that I am solution-oriented and creative with a
‘mind ‘mindset’ that is thinking outside the box. I take place in what I say – do it
thought-out, with empathy and joy and great engagement. However, I
would like to emphasize that even though I consider myself as a ‘people
person’, I do prioritize results over relations if I have to make a choice.
