Bio

Morten and I worked together on two IT sourcing projects, where Morten was my project manager. Morten is extremely knowledgeable in his field, and a creative systems thinker that loves to learn new things. I believe this is what drives his ability to always deliver excellent quality on time, and develop better ways of working. He is also excellent at building relationships. He demonstrated this in both projects we worked on together. As a PM and leader, Morten always takes the time to listen and share his extensive knowledge and experience. He also values the input of team members, and he is a fantastic sparring partner. I have learnt a lot from working with him, and I consider him a close mentor.

Morten was the Program Lead in setting up a new production facility within the pharmaceutical industry. I was reporting to Morten in my role as IT Project & Migration manager. When fully scaled the facility will deliver medicines to 30.000 patients in Nursing Homes, Home Care Service, and to private clients. The program was complex with several dependencies to subprograms that were required to be completed in sequence or in parallel; e.g. the readiness of production facility & machinery, the required IT applications & infrastructure, migration of patients, several agreements, required training, communication with stakeholders, obtaining manufacturing authorization, etc. Morten managed this program and all the complex dependencies to be resolved in a way that truly impressed me. In particular, I observed how Morten demonstrated two very distinct strengths; Leadership and Communication! Getting so many teams to move coordinated towards the same goal and in the same direction was performed with brilliance. Communicating complicated relationships and complex activities into easily understandable and executable plans is also distinct and very easy to spot strength. I would enjoy an opportunity to work with Morten again.
