Global Business Development Manager - OneSubsea

Dec 2014 - Sep 2017
Business acumen to create new business opportunities successfully in a downcycle using teamwork, technology and sensing market trends. The main challenge was to create and establish a completely new senior position within OneSubsea. Resilience ‐ advancing despite adversity was required as this position was created as the oil and gas business went into the biggest historic downturn which changed the business environment to the foundation. Developed and implemented a new sales approach: FasTrac™ Controls an off-the-shelf pre‐designed equipment to be delivered with 12 months from purchase order (historically 24 months). Several successful orders were based on this offering. Identifying product gaps and initiating new product developments. Initiating the IMR Program (Inspection, Maintenance, and Repair) based on AUVs (Autonomous Underwater Vehicle). Organizing a special customer event at the NASA Neutral Buoyancy Lab to demonstrate commercially available Autonomous Underwater Vehicles. Budget Responsibility.
