About Patrik Nilsson

A collaborative and results-driven professional with strong communication skills and a demonstrated ability to translate diverse stakeholder needs into practical, implementable solutions. Experienced in navigating complex challenges through open dialogue, consensus-building, and a balanced approach that aligns strategic objectives with operational realities. Passionate about bridging the gap between technology, process, and strategy to deliver solutions that enhance efficiency, support innovation, and create lasting business value. With over 20 years of experience in global product development, product lifecycle management (PLM), and business and operational excellence, I bring a broad and strategic perspective to complex development environments. I have extensive on-the-ground experience in China and Japan, enabling me to navigate cross-cultural settings effectively and lead international collaborations with confidence. Trained as an engineer, I hold a PhD from the department of product and production development at Chalmers University of Technology. Since 2019, I have been working as an independent consultant, supporting organizations in driving innovation, improving processes, and delivering results across the product lifecycle.
