NOW
Hi there! I am Erik Almenberg and I work at Motorola in the role of Creative Director of Converged Experiences. As part of a global design team, I currently focus on devices, software and services emerging in the synergistic overlap of our Mobile and Home businesses. My job is to lead cross-functional teams in evolving our competitive advantage in terms of consumer experiences.
STYLE
My work style is highly collaborative and I thrive in cross-functional team, often in the role of facilitator. Some people call me "the glue". I believe in mixing analytics and intuition, always striving for productization.
BACKGROUND
My background spans strategy, product, interaction, and brand in both software and hardware sectors, in corporations and consulting firms. My education is dominated by design, a strong asset in a time where focus on understanding consumers, holistic thinking and creativity are proving increasing valuable to business. Most recently I received an Master of Design Methods (MDM) from the Institute of Design in Chicago, lauded by Business Week and others as an emerging leader in training for repeatable, successful innovation.
PASSIONS
I am highly passionate about my work, but I do have other interests too. I regularly read (mostly fiction and biographies), cook, and practice photography. For sports, I love sailing, skiing, surfing and basketball. More recently I have picked up yoga, a wonderful balance to the others.
CONNECT
If you found this website and we have been out of touch, or perhaps we have never met and should be introduced, go ahead and send me an email. Looking forward to hearing from you!
