Steffen Nymark

Position: COO at Windar Photonics
Technical University of Denmark (DTU) - M.Sc. Electrical Engineering

I have 20+ years of experience in technology-driven companies, working at the intersection of R&D, operations, and business transformation. My background spans leadership roles across innovation, product development, and organizational change, particularly within development and manufacturing in high-tech environments. I am passionate about driving results through collaboration, clarity, and continuous improvement, and I thrive when turning complexity into action.

Motivation

I want to give back by supporting the next generation of engineers and leaders. Throughout my career, I’ve been fortunate to work with inspiring people who helped shape my journey — now I want to offer that same support to someone else. I’m especially interested in working with mentees who are curious, motivated, and open to feedback — whether they’re aspiring leaders, transitioning from specialist to generalist, or simply navigating early career challenges. I also see this as an opportunity to reflect on my own leadership and to stay connected to new perspectives.
