About Sonni Hansen

As Development Manager at Roskilde University, I lead a multidisciplinary development and data unit. Throughout my tenure, I have led teams of up to 20+ IT professionals, driving the implementation of strategic initiatives across the organization. My primary focus is on delivering value by implementing initiatives grounded in both existing strategies and those I develop collaboratively with my team. I thrive in leading personnel and managing change, ensuring that technical and organizational development aligns with business objectives while delivering high-quality solutions and fostering a culture of collaboration and progress. With 7+ years of leadership experience, I focus on improving processes, fostering collaboration, and implementing best practices to achieve operational and strategic success. I prioritize clear communication, structured workflows, and efficient resource management to ensure teams are aligned and working toward common objectives. I am dedicated to building and leading high-performing, agile teams that can adapt to evolving business needs. By introducing SCRUM, DevOps, and CI/CD processes, I have improved delivery times, product quality, and team accountability. My experience extends across product & project management, project portfolio oversight, and process optimization, ensuring that projects and products are both technically sound and aligned with long-term business goals. With 19+ years of experience in software development and a deep understanding of complex system architecture, I have successfully led multiple projects that transformed monolithic applications into scalable, microservice-based solutions. I prioritize transparency, stakeholder engagement, and collaboration, ensuring that all initiatives are delivered on time and within scope. In addition to my technical and leadership expertise, I am passionate about fostering a culture of continuous learning and development within my teams. I believe that empowering individuals through mentorship and knowledge sharing leads to stronger, more resilient teams capable of tackling any challenge.
