Bjarne Andersen

I have an IT education and many years of experience from the financial sector.

My many years of IT experience have made me a strong project manager and task manager. I can deliver first-class IT solutions to customers/business units. I have extensive experience within HR and payroll systems, and I also have extensive experience with outsourcing entire payroll systems with responsibility for up to 6 project participants and a budget of a double-digit DKK million amount.

In a role as task manager, I am good at having the overall responsibility for IT solutions, both self-developed and acquired solutions for business units.

I also have extensive experience with security and risk assessment of IT solutions.

As a person, I am open, sociable, welcoming, flexible and service-oriented, and not least result-oriented. I always focus on creating value for my customers, and delivering the agreed functionality at the right time and price. I contribute to creating an overview and structure without compromising on quality. I am used to working across organisations and national borders, and can communicate with managers, colleagues, suppliers and other business partners in a good and constructive way.
