Building a growth company at RELEX Solutions
In my day job I am part of RELEX Solutions, a fast growing leading-edge retail planning solution provider. Originally from Finland, RELEX has already expanded its business to 9 countries including US and has grown its employee base from 100 to over 450 awesome individuals in just a few years.
My job is to help scale our business effectively by driving and coordinating key operations development initiatives on global level. I focus primarily on developing the way we deliver implementation projects and ensuring smooth transitions from sales to implementation to continuous service phase. In addition I lead a global team of our leading senior supply chain consultants who support our most important customer projects and act as a link to our product teams. They help develop our best practice solutions to difficult problems and strengthen the product knowledge in all our country offices.

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. Since its founding in January 2012 the network has grown to roughly 1000 members and we have organized over 80 inspiring events in Helsinki. At the same time we have built AWiB into a well-functioning organization. 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.

Blogger at Leanlife.fi
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 was mentioned in an article by Helsingin Sanomat, the biggest Finnish newspaper. 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. Currently I am one of the mentors in 1 World Social Capital program and one of the alumni mentors of the Foundation of German Business. I have also held workshops and lectures on self-management, cornerstones of good working life, coaching basics and networking skills.
I was interviewed in 2013 about my views on growing as person by Kasvublogi (in Finnish).

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.
