  Innovation portfolio manager

  o Setting up Innovation management and way of working with innovations for Volvo Cars. This included setting up the Corporate Innovation Office and the Innovation Forum, which is a management forum with members from the executive management team.o Managing several innovation studies in parallel.Each innovation study was managed by a leader but I coached them tightly with a portfolio mindset. The main difference between managing business projects vs managing innovation projects is that innovation projects tend to start with loosely defined goals that become clearer as the project proceeds. The risk taking also tends to be higher so therefore was the job very much about proving that this works with facts and figures and to build up confidence within executive management that this is something we need.o Lead a cross functional Innovation Network with innovation responsibles from each business area within Volvo Cars.Started as Quality Engineer at Powertrain controls before moving on to Innovation Portfolio manager via being the strategy responsible for electrification Show less
