Background

About Jakob Lyck

With more than 17 years of experience in various commercial roles and a B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering, I have developed solid expertise in business management, leadership, strategy, sales, finance, business development, and project- and product management. I thrive on collaboration across departments and have consistently built strong relationships with colleagues and stakeholders. This enables me to secure commitment, cooperation, and results across the organization. My leadership style is based on respect, involvement, and a strong focus on commercial results. I lead both directly and indirectly through sparring, proactivity, and shared responsibility. My colleagues describe me as inquisitive and constructively challenging — always aligning discussions and decisions with the company’s strategic direction, also upwards in the organization. Throughout my career, I have been responsible for developing and driving product strategy in alignment with overall company goals. I have led new product development, reduced portfolio complexity, contributed to commercial transformations, and headed cross-functional business process optimization projects. My managers describe me as a strong team player — self-driven, energetic, motivating, highly adaptable, and quick to understand new environments.
