Bridging Business & Technology

Hi, I'm Lars Barkman. I empower organizations to excel at bridging business & technology by delivering impactful consulting services and cultivating innovative ventures.

My expertise spans three complementary domains with a singular focus on business value:

• Enterprise Operating Models that align structure with strategy
• IT Solutions that turn technology into competitive advantage
• Engineering Leadership that maximizes team performance

This integrated approach bridges the gap between business vision and technical execution, transforming complex challenges into measurable business outcomes.
