My strength is my business sense, in developing leaders and organizations in fast

taken the business analysis company Qlik to Nasdaq 2010, and supporting a change of
business model at Yves Rocher Nordics as well as now in Mundipharma Nordics.

In repositioning Yves Rocher Nordics from being a top mail order company in the Nordic
countries to a retail business with a younger target group, my contribution was to
implement a model of “hitting the gas and brakes at the same time”, making necessary
cuts through restructure in both Sweden and Finland, while investing in internal
communication, employee involvement in smarter ways of working, as well as talent and
competence development. I introduced performance management with individual
objectives linked to the business plan, for all employees.
Employee surveys showed that 85% felt that Yves Rocher was a Great Place to Work,
even during times of change, voluntary turn over below 5%, sick leave under 3%.
2008 - 2011 VP Global HR and People Development, Qlik, Lund and Madrid
Reported to the CEO. I was matrix manager and had six direct reports. I defined and ran
the company’s HR and ”People Development” strategy prior to listing on Nasdaq, as well
as for the continued expansion.
Great emphasis was given to building a company culture through strong core values, as
well as communicating the vision and business targets. This was done through training
all new employees at QlikAcademy in Lund, through The Green House Leadership
Program, annual events for all employees and our newsletter ONE. The fact that the
culture was so strong contributed to an increased value of the opening stock, when
evaluated by Morgan Stanley.
I built an HR organization with HR managers in seven regions and a global team that
served 850 employees in 33 countries. I helped draw up policies, processes and
systems optimized for a fast-growing global company.
2005 - 2008 Director QlikAcademy and Coordinator Global HR, Qlik, Lund
Reported to the CEO. I established and ran QlikAcademy, QlikTech´s “signature
experience”, an international introduction program in which all employees come to Lund
to learn about the company. I also developed and implemented a Partner Academy, was
responsible for QlikView product training/certification, and as the coordinator for the
international HR group I created a common platform for HR.
1998 - 2003 Mgr Personnel Development , IKEASpain & Portugal, Madrid
Reported to the HR Director. I was Training Manager for the opening of the second IKEA
store in Madrid, where I ran the on-boarding program for all 500 employees. As Manager
Personnel Development for IKEA Spain and Portugal I was responsible for training
