Bio
Hazyati S.
I am always amaze by Anna's in depth knowledge on contract management, point of negotiations and strategic mindset. She coached me in many ways and I love that our perspective always inline. I find her notes are valuable and instrumental in my work. I would recommend her for work coaching as she also bring wealth of knowledge in IT contracting, services and management to the table.

During my tenure as Global Head of Finance Operations at Zurich Insurance Company, Anna was my Strategic Sourcing Business Partner for 2 years. She effectively led a cross-functional group of experts and third parties into delivering outsourcing transactions to enable our function to access new capabilities. Given her success in supporting our sourcing requirements and high level of engagement in my function, I extended her role to be a trusted advisor on topics such as performance management and strategy. This enabled me to strengthen my stakeholder relationships and further build new group-level capabilities. Anna is a very dedicated and engaged team player, she is focussed on results and ready to invest her time and energy to deliver over and beyond the initial brief.

Anna has coached me on my journey to build a mobile, professional neurofeedback-training business in 2018. More than others in the past (including a few psychologists), she understood my intentions, challenges and abilities, and engaged to help me get going. She was quickly oriented in the clinical areas of ADHD and neurofeedback-training. She brought structure to my thoughts and connected me with relevant people in her vast network and in the clinical neurofeedback space in Europe. She conducted effective business partner meetings and generated a sound and well-articulated business plan. Anna is the first person I would have partnered with to jointly create

Aug 2018 - Present
I work independently for clients in Zurich, and sometimes abroad. I advise and deliver on topics such as service strategy and design, strategic sourcing, vendor governance and financial performance. I am fascinated about well-functioning systems, with clear rules of engagement and respectful and interest-based collaboration and negotiation. My work includes business plans and business cases, outsourcing transactions, risk and financial frameworks and policies, and service transformation. Highly strategic and well versed across business functions, I act as trusted advisor and leverage experiences gained in consulting (McKinsey, Accenture) and industry (Zurich Insurance, UBS). Problems that fit me are complex, cross-functional, requiring agility in grasping and addressing them. Socially apt and confident in communication and negotiation, I interact with care and have a track record of achieving change. I energize from people and care about organizational performance and team health. I am fluent in Swedish, English, Italian, German and French. https://www.engstromer.com/
