Attracted by ambition
To achieve our aim of competing with giant consumer electronics brands, reMarkable needed to build a truly global outsourced supply chain. For many, this was a key reason to join the team.
Oda joined reMarkable in 2020 as Supply Chain Manager after over five years at Norwegian household goods conglomerate Orkla, where she ran warehouses and production lines.
“My role offered lots of room for learning and development. Going from the FMCG industry, where the focus is on efficiency and flow in everything from production to shipment, to a role in new product development and introductions at reMarkable was a steep learning curve. Looking back I’m proud of the products we’ve launched,” she says.
“The learning opportunities, the high level of ambition, and the chance to work with talented people from all over the world to build a great product drew me to reMarkable.”

A few years later Erlend also joined reMarkable from Orkla. Starting in supply chain operations, he soon became New Product Introduction Manager, focusing on leading product development.
“One of the things I appreciate is our ability to balance daily tasks with strategic goals, while continually refining our methods and practices. Take, for example, our initiative to establish a logic for unique identifiers, like serial numbers, or model names, to make future product launches easier. This approach means we have more time to build the best possible products.”
"reMarkable asks you to bring your A-game, and I'm ready to do that."
Erlend Kjelstad, New Product Introduction Manager
Shipping success
Vanessa worked in shipping as a Maritime Manager before she joined reMarkable in 2022. After her start she has improved how we ship large quantities (bulk) from and to our warehouses, she helped open new warehouses to support our increasing volume and the launch of our Type Folio. She was also part of a project that made it possible to ship and sell reMarkable in 10 new countries.
“I’m energized by the idea that I can directly contribute to reMarkable’s success. It’s great to see we’ve increased our bulk shipments by at least six times since I started, as I know it helps our global success.
I think the way we adapt to changing circumstances and needs, while also daring to be demanding, is different. By challenging the way things are done, we always set new standards.”
Our goal is for reMarkable to stay ahead as the market leader, even as we compete with major global brands, who have become a part of the paper tablet category.
“When I was at university I had a similar idea to the reMarkable, so when I saw it brought my vision to life I became a fan straight away.”
