Finance professional with nearly 20 years of experience in different roles. My study background in LUT includes two master’s degree: MSc. Economices & Business Administration and Msc. Industrial Engineering. This background has been very good basis for all of the roles I have had since. 

I started my career in Stora Enso where I could directly learn “how the good looks like”. My first role was in the core of business controlling of a business area. Next, I moved more towards group accounting and reporting by working in the HQ of Stora Enso. After Stora Enso I was lucky to be the part of Fiskars Group’s journey towards a leading global consumer goods company for 12 years. I started in Group control but moved quickly towards business controlling and after that to be part of Strategy and PMO team. After a quite long journey in interesting world of Group I decided to move close to business when I started as Operations BA lead in Patria Group. There I got the experience of being the finance business partner and business management team member in a growth company. My heart has always been with development acitivites and projects and at the moment I work as a Finance Development Lead there.

I would like to offer myself as a soundboard for a person who finds my background or story as something they feel they could benefit of. I have worked in international environments my whole career so I’m happy to have this mentoring experience in Finnish or in English. I live in capital city area so live meetings in this area goes but I’m also open to have discussion in Teams as well.
