Karl Fredrik Knutsen - Pricing Manager
“I have always had a passion for aviation and SAS was a natural choice with its solid brand and important presence in Norway.”
I have the responsibility for tactical and strategic pricing decision to develop and improve SAS profitability. This typically means optimizing price points, plan campaign prices and work with different price concepts that we offer to our customers, such as SAS Youth for customers younger than 26 years.
I am currently working with prices for travel within Norway. Norway has one of the largest domestic markets in Europe and it is a competitive and exciting area to work with, and most importantly - I get to work with a great team of inspiring and competent people in SAS.
What qualities are useful for succeed in the role you are having?
One of the most important qualities is to be curious, ask questions, challenge set know-hows, and always strive to improve.
To do this you need to be have an analytic mindset, work structured on your own but also in cross functional teams with other stakeholders within the organization.
It also requires skills and knowledge in Excel and PowerBI.
As a person, you need to be confident in making own decisions. You must also enjoy working individually as well as in teams.
Career: My SAS adventure started with a summer job at SAS Ground in 2012. I spent most of my years in ground as a Service Manager where I was responsible for sending SAS passengers safely on their journey out of Oslo Airport. I started to work part time and studied economics.
Last year I got the opportunity to start the role I have now as a Pricing Manager.
Nationality: Norwegian
Favorite SAS destination: I must say Ålesund. It is a cosy small city in Norway build with stunning Nouveau Architecture buildings. It is a perfect gateway to explore Norwegian fjords and mountains with tons of hiking possibilities.
Best weekend getaway: London never stops giving. Amazing weekend getaway for shopping, cultural experience and great food and drinks.
What does travel mean to me: For me, travel is a lot of things. It is about realizing dreams, but also learning and exploring to better understand the world we live in.
Camilla Gram - Cargo
“Being part of SAS means the environment is really high on the agenda, and we have our own initiatives in that regard at Cargo.”
We have had a kind of generational change, and I think it has given us a very dynamic organization with a healthy and strong foundation. And that's important, Camilla explains, because air freight was for a long time a very conservative and sluggish industry, and it no longer works today.
Digitalization is constantly advancing and creating new opportunities for efficiency, while changing customers' needs and expectations. The industry is ripe for transformative changes. Digitalization creates enormous opportunities," says Camilla. And we are constantly focusing on innovation and new digital solutions.
