Returning from Greenland, and leveraging my experiences, I transitioned into my current role to take responsibility for our ESRI-based solution for the Greenlandic coredata register.

Key focus areas:

• Engaging with clients and stakeholders to understand requirements and provide expert advice and recommendations on GIS solutions and strategies.
• Collaborate with stakeholders to define project scope, objectives, and deliverables.
• Ensure efficient cooperation within internal multi-functional and multi-national teams to deliver on time and within budget.
• Develop project plans, timelines, and budgets to ensure successful project completion.

Over the four years I was stationed in Nuuk as a GIS consultant, my responsibilities evolved significantly, reflecting the dynamic nature of the role and the unique challenges of being the sole permanent representative of COWI in Greenland.

• Technical expertise and implementing GIS solutions tailored to local client needs.
• Facilitated smooth project execution by maintaining strong relationships with key local stakeholders.
• Facilitated GIS courses and technical support for local authorities.
• Engaged in sales work, leveraging close connections to the local society to identify new business opportunities.
• Played a key role in shaping the department's approach to projects and initiatives in Nuuk.

Generalist GIS consultant with focus on efficient data-transformation and data-analysis.

Specialized in efficient data transformation and analysis, I leveraged GIS to deliver impactful solutions.

Key Achievements:

• DMI Station Management System: Played a pivotal role in the creation of an ArcGIS-based Station Management System for the Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI). Contributed to the development of the initial dataset by aggregating new data with existing data from their legacy databases.
