But the red line through my career has always been the question “is there a better way?” So, this is what I have spent most of my worklife trying to answer. How can we make the numbers really help and drive the business and make the people using them feel empowered by the control and clarity of vision it can bring them.”

The important role the technology of Skyresponse plays in making our community a better and safer place was one of the first things that made me interested. And to work with a company with such a clear vision and focus on growth without losing sight of other important values feels like a place where I can really add value.”
- “Skyresponse is on a growth journey, and we are excited to have Erika onboard for that journey and to help us drive the business forwards”, says Martin Reidevall, CEO Skyresponse AB. “Her experience and positive drive to help the organisation with analysis, improvements and developing the business will add great value to our team going forward.”
