Quote-to-cash, AI & automation

I lead UX for Maersk's enterprise contract-negotiation platform — a suite of complex enterprise products that carries a deal from a sales lead in Salesforce all the way to a signed, stored contract. Through optimised user journeys, increased automation, and smarter workflow orchestration, my team and I design the platform that facilitates over $10B in business a year.

The problem

A quote that took six months

Quoting a large customer means coordinating everyone who prices a different part of the offer — sometimes 30+ specialists across the world. It used to happen in Excel, email, phone calls and Teams meetings. A single quote could take up to six months to reach the customer. By then, we had often already lost the business.

Up to six months to a single quote — and often the business was already gone.

01 — The solution

One orchestrator, not thirty inboxes

I drive end-to-end design across the suite, from research and strategy to production. At the centre sits an orchestrator: it runs the configure-price-quote flow and delegates each task — service selection, pricing, negotiation, legal, signing, reporting — to the right people based on the customer's profile and requirements. The coordination that used to live in inboxes now lives in one system, with a relentless focus on reducing complexity and improving task completion.

02 — Award-winning

Turning a customer's spreadsheet into a quote

Customers send their requirements as their own Excel sheets — often 10,000+ rows and 50+ columns, every one formatted differently. The team I work with built an AI solution that reads those sheets and converts them into our structured format, ready to quote — removing one of the slowest, most error-prone steps in the whole process. It went on to win Gold at the Danish Digital Award.

Credit where it's due: that win was largely an engineering achievement — the genuinely hard technical problem belonged to the team. I contributed on the design and UX side, but the breakthrough was theirs.

03 — Shaping strategy

In the room before the brief

UX usually receives business requirements after the strategy is already set. On Short Term Contracts, it was different. My manager brought me in at the identification stage — partnering directly with business to research whether short-term contracts belonged on the same platform.

The answer was a clear yes, and it became the organisation's number-one priority for 200+ people. The result is an even more automated path to a quote — faster, with less human intervention. It has just launched, and the early signs are strong.

This platform is commercially sensitive, so I've kept the detail high-level here. I'm happy to walk through the work, decisions and process in depth in an interview.
