Bio
Kenneth Kristensen
I had the pleasure of working with Sara at Haldor Topsoe as IT project manager, collaborating on several projects. Sara’s ability to handle multiple configuration projects was unlike any I’ve seen before and she clearly understood important business impact of same. No matter how tense and demanding, Sara positive attitude made sure everyone left with a smile. Sara initiated and contributed to change us towards a new digital technology which is the initiation of strategic efficient manufacturing. Sara earns my highest recommendation as she is reliable as well as highly goal-oriented, and she can inspire other team members to be at their best.
Peter Elverskov
As Group Leader for the IT Business Development group in Haldor Topsøe's IT Department, I was Line Manager for Sara, as well as having the company supervisor role for her Industrial Ph.d. work. During that time I was very impressed with Sara's positive and structured approach to her project, and that she was very quick about gaining a basic understanding of the complex Science and Engineering Knowledge involved in Haldor Topsøe's products and services, and that this would enable her to collaborate very well with the specialists regarding her thesis. Finally I would like to point out that Sara on several occasions have been proactive in discovering and suggesting opportunities for improving the company's engineering processes, even when not directly in scope of her Ph.d. thesis. Please feel free to contact me for any questions. - Peter Elverskov
