Back to original languageAbout Erik
Senior executive with over 20 years of experience in commercial strategy, business development, and organizational development. I work at board and executive management level as a strategic sparring partner and interim leader for growth, change, and positioning issues.
My strength lies in creating strategic clarity in complex environments and translating it into concrete value creation.
Expertise:
• Strategic repositioning and growth acceleration
• Commercial & revenue transformation
• Business development and international partnerships
• Stakeholder alignment (board, shareholders, executive team)
• Scaling of propositions and organizations
I combine analytical depth with executive sensitivity and execution power. Calm, independent, and results-oriented — with a focus on sustainable growth and scalable structures.
Available as interim director, commercial leader, program manager, or board advisor within both corporate and scale-up environments.
I am often consulted in situations where direction, structure, and mature commercial management are lacking, or need to be re-established.
