Lasse Damsgaard

Title: Product & Commercial Management Graduate

Education: Technology Based Business Development

What’s your name and what do you work with? 

My name is Lasse, and as of 31 July 2024 I concluded my graduate position within Product & Commercial Management. I am now working as an Innovation Consultant in the Innovation and External Relations department.

Through my graduate position I have had the opportunity to explore many areas of Kamstrup, which entailed three rotations at the headquarter in Denmark and a rotation at the South African office. In all rotations I have been bridging the market with technology in pursuit of entering new markets and exploring new opportunities for Kamstrup's customers, while evaluating new potential partnerships. 

What motivates you to work in Kamstrup? 

Because of my time as a Graduate, I have gained a good holistic understanding of the activities across the entire organization. I have had the opportunity to work at an operational, tactical, and strategic levels alongside diverse colleagues. It is highly motivating for me to leverage this knowledge to bridge different parts of the organization and enable cross organizational collaboration, while shortening projects duration.

What is the best thing about your job? 

The best thing about my job is the opportunity to address real-world challenges for our customers by utilizing new technologies and business models. This not only supports Kamstrup's growth but also helps alleviate our customers' pain points.

What is it like being a Graduate at Kamstrup? 

As a graduate at Kamstrup, you are in a unique position to explore new areas of the company and gain firsthand experience from various processes while working as part of different teams. You need to be comfortable meeting new people and taking on new tasks, including those you have never encountered before. Since your stakeholders change with each rotation, you will learn to manage them effectively to deliver and perform within a relatively short period. The biggest challenge of being a graduate is that just as you reach a high level of performance, it's time to start over with a new team. However, embrace this as an opportunity to meet and learn from many different people, and use it to build an excellent network within the organization.
