Experience

With 25+ years in the wonderful and unpredictable world of project management, I’ve seen it all—from perfect Gantt charts that never met reality to projects that somehow succeeded despite the odds.
As an Associate Consultant at Mannaz, I draw on my engineering background and military discipline (yes, I used to be an army officer) to bring structure, strategy, and a bit of sanity to the project world.
Development has always been my driving force—whether it’s products, processes, organizations, or people and the project approach has often been the go-to method for this. And let’s be honest, doing it through projects keeps things interesting! My journey has taken me across the globe working with a wide range of organisations, from Norway to Australia, Canada to Qatar, and Aalborg to Rødby, helping everyone from fresh-faced project newbies to seasoned project directors navigate the project jungle.
My approach? Pragmatism above all. Fancy models and theories are great, but I prefer to bend, twist, and tweak them until they actually work in real life. Because at the end of the day, project management isn’t about perfection—it’s about getting things done.
