Director Product Development

Permobil is one of the world's leading designers and manufacturers of powered wheelchairs. Since the mid-1980s we have been active in the North American market. In the last five years our business here has expanded vigorously. Our North American office is located just outside of Nashville,Tennessee. Aside from administrative, sales and marketing functions, developmental resources, assembly workshop, servicing workshop and a large spare parts and accessories stock are also located here.

I am VP Product Development at Permobil, an Investor AB Patricia Industries portfolio company. We design and build the world's best fitting, best performing, and best looking complex rehab technology products. We believe in bringing cutting edge technology, quality design and craftsmanship, and unique customer focus to mobility solutions products. My team is responsible for engineering support to all power wheelchair products throughout the design, production, and support life cycles. This includes new product development, legacy product design engineering, product testing, technical supplier requirements management, product maintenance, and production support engineering. My team is cross-functional and global, with the design center of excellence located in Timrå, Sweden. Prior to joining Permobil, I supported six product lines at four production sites over five years as a Materials & Processes Engineer at Boeing. I have academic background in chemical, mechanical, and systems engineering.
