Sofia Lindgren, Global PLM MCAD Product Owner, ASSA ABLOY Group

Sofia Lindgren is Global Product Owner at ASSA ABLOY Group, supporting the shift from monolithic PLM systems to a modular, user-centric ecosystem. With over 20 years of experience spanning CAD, PLM, and 3D user experience—and formative years in the gaming industry—she brings a unique perspective where user engagement and intuitive design take priority. At ASSA ABLOY, she works across global teams to support lightweight PDM, federated data access, and open integration frameworks. Sofia focuses on training, adoption, and aligning tools with actual user needs—simplifying rather than customizing, enabling rather than enforcing. She believes that real transformation occurs when systems are built around people, not just processes or technology.
