Job titles rarely say enough. Here is what the work actually involved — the situation, what I did, and what came out of it.

The cases

Nordea Pension

2024 — 2025 · Head of Digital

Nordea Pension was carved out of Topdanmark while rebuilding critical digital capabilities and keeping customer-facing platforms and integrations running.

  • Aug 2024 — Dec 2025 · Head of Digital

    Platform migration and carve-out

    I led the platform stream — web, CRM and integrations — with contract and provider responsibility for Scalepoint, Salesforce, Genesys, Bloomreach and the integration layer. Roadmap, prioritization and delivery structure were established along the way, and the platforms had to keep running after separation in a setup where strategy kept shifting.

    My role
    Head of Digital · platform stream owner
    Outcome
    Platforms ran independently after separation, with roadmap, prioritization and delivery structure in place.

    Scaling the digital organization

    The area went from five people to three teams with ten in Denmark plus twenty in India, across web, Salesforce and middleware — the capability needed to support the carve-out, the migration and ongoing platform delivery at the same time. Part of it was migrating from on-premise to cloud, including the contact centre.

    Remediation programme

    After migration, significant issues in the policy administration setup affected customers and operational stability. The programme ran with the CTO as sponsor and the CEO as chair, and had visibility across Nordic leadership. I was brought in to restore structure and momentum across more than 30 specialists in six workstreams, re-establishing direction, executive transparency and coordination.

    My role
    Programme Director · 30+ specialists, six workstreams
    Outcome

Danica

    Next Gen — digital transformation programme

    A five-year programme from legacy platforms to modern digital platforms and a product organization.

    Claims transformation with AI and RPA

    Claims handling was heavily manual and operationally complex. It was rebuilt on the new web and native platform with automated workflows using AI and RPA, reducing manual handling and operating costs while improving customer satisfaction — turning claims into a fully digital operating model.

    AI-driven customer insight

    Moving AI beyond experimentation and into everyday product delivery. LLM-based analysis of CES feedback and customer comments surfaced recurring friction points across journeys, and the insights became an integrated part of backlog refinement and prioritization.

    Integration with the Danske Bank ecosystem

    I took over an initiative that had stalled and led it to production, extending Danica's presence into Danske Bank's mobile bank with insurance and health services. Customers got a cross-group financial overview, and pension services reached many who rarely open their pension app.

How we can work together

As a permanent leader, or as an advisor on a defined assignment — typically when a platform needs direction, a product organization needs building, or a programme has come off track. We start with a conversation about where you are, and you get a short proposal with scope and time before anything is agreed.

Send me a note and we can find out whether it makes sense.
