3/13/25, 2:26 PM IWD 2025: Lena De Geer, Regional Head IT, Fugro
and female leaders. Creating these intentional pathways will help

break down barriers, provide equal access to guidance and

opportunities, and ultimately accelerate gender equality in the

workplace.

Can you share your journey into the tech world and what

inspired you to pursue this, where did it all start?

Lena De Geer: I began my career in business administration and

supply chain at LG Electronics, where I was introduced to process

improvement through Lean Six Sigma projects. One of my key

projects focused on sales forecasting, where I developed a new

process for Scandinavia and designed a supporting system. At the

time, I had no background in IT or software development, but I

quickly realized how much I enjoyed problem-solving, creating

efficiencies, and building something new.

This realization led me to pursue a tech career. I joined IFS

Applications in Stockholm, Sweden, as an Implementation Project

Manager, where I gained valuable experience in one of the biggest

ERP systems in Scandinavia. My passion for technology continued

to grow, leading me to move to Dubai, where I led several agile

software development teams developing that company’s internal

software.
