  The Business Development Manager role (IKEA title: Business Navigation Leader) combined the parts of the CFO, COO and CIO roles in other organisations. I was responsible for the unit’s budget, goal setting, work processes, business analytics, and PMO, and played a critical role in setting and executing the HR strategy for total IKEA. I was a part of the unit’s management team, and reported to the global HR Manager for Core Business Range. As Chief Financial Officer (IKEA title: Business Navigation Manager) I was responsible for the business area’s budget, goal setting, work processes, business analytics, and PMO, and played a critical role in setting the setting and executing the global business plan for a 2 billion Euro business. I was a part of the business areas management team and lead a team of 15 people. In this role (IKEA title: Sales Responsible), I was responsible for the business area's global sales performance (3 billion Euros), with the ambition to optimise sales and sales efficiency across all channels. I also contributed in the development and deployment of IKEA's new kitchen platform, launched in 2013, which roll-out is the biggest range change that the company has ever done. As Team Leader, I led a group of Demand Planners, responsible for sales forecasting of the Bedroom & Bathroom product range (3.5 billion Euros), and indirectly steering the dimensioning of the supply chain.
