I hold a Master’s degree (MSc) in Logistics, Industrial Engineering and Management from Lappeenranta University of Technology, complemented by studies at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics. Over the past 20 years, I have worked in various procurement, logistics, and business development roles in both multinational corporations and entrepreneurial settings. My career has spanned strategic and global sourcing, contract management, and cross-functional project leadership.

I am motivated to be a mentor because I believe that sharing practical experiences and discussing real-life challenges can provide valuable insights that go beyond textbooks. Mentoring also deepens my own understanding, as exploring topics with a fresh perspective often reveals new angles.

I hope to work with a mentee who is curious, motivated, and open to exchanging ideas, whether their interests lie in procurement, business development, entrepreneurship, or career planning.

In my free time, I enjoy motorcycling, especially adventure touring, which allows me to combine exploration with problem-solving on the road. I look forward to bringing the same spirit of curiosity, adaptability, and persistence into the mentoring discussions.
