Sara Skogsater, Senior Consultant & Team Leader at PNO Innovation France.
After 21 years at PNO, Sara is still learning. She started her career at the company as a Consultant and Project Manager, gradually taking on more responsibility before becoming a Senior Consultant and, later, a Team Leader.
Over the years, she has worked across a wide variety of sectors, including aviation, energy, bioeconomy, energy storage, life sciences and digital technologies. That variety is one of the things she enjoys most. Every assignment brings new challenges, new technologies and opportunities to collaborate with leading researchers and industrial companies.
Working on demanding innovation projects requires both teamwork and time to concentrate. The hybrid working model offers that balance. Office days are an opportunity to exchange ideas, work with colleagues and share knowledge. Working from home gives her the space to focus on analysis, writing and complex project work.
But life at PNO is not only about projects and deadlines. Informal conversations, team lunches and coffee breaks are part of a collaborative culture where colleagues support each other and enjoy working together. And outside the office, Sara enjoys running, which helps her disconnect, recharge and sometimes even find inspiration for new ideas.
