Building a growth company at RELEX Solutions
In my day job I am part of the team at RELEX Solutions, a fast-growing leading-edge retail planning solution provider. In my time at RELEX I've witnessed continuous 50% year-over-year growth, expansion to several new countries and two acquisitions and been lucky enough to support the scaling of the business in several different roles. In my current role in the Product Strategy team my goal is to lead the growth and development of our Workload Forecasting solution and make sure all the different functions are engaged and work in alignment towards the joint goals.
Lean life podcast
My newest passion project is the Lean Life podcast where I solve listeners' life management and relationship problems with an engineer-economist mindset :) You can find it on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and Google Podcasts.
Lean life blog
In 2015 I started writing the Lean Life-blog together with my dear hubby Tommi. Our idea was to share some of the ideas we've had about creating leaner processes and systems to manage our everyday life so that we can focus on the fun stuff. We started writing the blog in Finnish but it is now also available in English. The blog has been featured in Helsingin Sanomat, Me Naiset and Trendi. We also did a video series called "Ketterä kukkaro" with the Finnish Bank S-Pankki, where we talk about some of our money-related topics.
Mentoring, coaching, lectures and workshops
I am passionate about helping other people grow so in addition to my other regular activities I do an irregular amount of mentoring and coaching on a voluntary work basis. I have also held workshops and lectures on self-management, cornerstones of good working life, coaching basics and networking skills.
Founder and member of the board at Aalto Women in Business
I am one of the founders and board members of Aalto Women in Business, a network for young ambitious women that aims at encouraging women to aim higher and actively support each other. We founded the network in January 2012 and built it into a well-functioning organization that actively offered inspiring events to young women. Since 2015 I have taken a more behind-the-scenes role as a board member and let the new core team work their magic in bringing the network to the next level.
I also supported setting up our sister organizations Women of Aalto, a student organization and Mothers in Business, a network for career-minded moms.

Creator of Perheiden Laru
Me and my husband created a website for families in our home neighborhood Lauttasaari (a.k.a. Laru a.k.a. Island of love) to share useful information that usually gets lost in several Facebook and WhatsApp conversations. The contents are constantly updated based on infos sent by fellow Lauttasaari people.
