Engineering experience and technical record

Before starting E-Consult International in 2010, I had 29 years of experience from full-time employment in eight different companies. Over the years I have built up extensive practical experience with realisation of electronics hardware from concepting, design, Thickfim and PCB-layout, technology reviews, prototyping, over product validation to mass production. The experience have been obtained via many different engineering job roles such as, Development-, Research-, Production-, Quality-, Failure Analysis-, and Technology-Engineer, as well as project-, group-, department- and business-manager. During my 10 years at Nokia Mobile Phones, I worked as Technical Expert, Internal Connectivity, Reliability, Component Packaging, PCB/Flex Technologies and Hardware concepting. This combined with my experience from technical and managerial positions within segments as Industrial-, Consumer-, Medico-, Telecom-, Space- and Avionics-Electronics, has given me a solid base to give professional consultancy support to companies who wish to be best-in-class in designing and manufacturing electronics devices. A background that has given me a holistic approach to how quality products are made, but also a background that has taught me to collaborate with and understand all categories of employees (from the warehouse assistant to the Director level) who contributes to the product creation process and volume production.

Over the years I have participated in the design and manufacturing of more than 230 electronics modules, components and devices and thereby gained a holistic approach to all electronics/device processes from cradle to grave, with a strong focus on "customer satisfaction", reliability and "total earnings", which I find more important than an often misunderstood short-term pursuit of the lowest possible BOM cost, which in the worst case can result in production/yield problems, large quality and service costs and potentially "lost sales".

Since 2010, I have run E-Consult International, providing independent professional technical sparring to several companies in Denmark, Europe, China and the United States. Throughout my career, I have always asked critical questions about "current state design methods" and actively been a "technology scout" who annually attend international conferences, seminars or trade fairs, to be able to follow technology and manufacturing state-of-the-art trends. Therefore, I'm able to critically challenge technology roadmaps and to facilitate and execute implementation of new, or forgotten, technologies if and when it makes sense.
