About Hjalmar

Dear clients,
Are you looking for a partner capable of transforming your industrial challenges into growth levers? I support you in your digital transformation, industrial optimization, and change management projects, leveraging over 20 years of international experience in industry, engineering, and business management.

What sets me apart: rare expertise in the industrial field (factories, data centers, energy, agri-food, etc.), combined with strategic vision and the ability to lead multicultural teams in complex contexts. My strength: making innovation concrete and measurable, from the deployment of Industry 4.0 to advanced automation, including process digitalization and international project management.

I have led missions in:
- Digital transformation (IoT, automation, data analytics)
- Restructuring and development of international subsidiaries
- Factory turnaround and optimization (Lean, quality, cost reduction)
- Deployment of certified ISO and organic automated production lines
- Creation and management of innovative companies (OEM, international trade, energy)

Among my achievements: IT project management for a global NGO, management of a chemical plant (France/Netherlands), construction of modular data centers, launch of a certified organic production line, and yacht construction.

Multilingual (FR, EN, DE, NL, BG, AR), I facilitate communication between your teams and partners, and I intervene across the entire value chain, from diagnosis to operational implementation.

Entrust me with your projects: together, we will make your ambitions a tangible and sustainable reality.
