About

I recently completed a double degree in Strategic Management from Aalto University School of Business and International Management through the CEMS program. My experience since then has spanned three different worlds: a startup, an industry, and a consultancy. What ties it all together is that I am drawn to problems that require you to step back and think before you act. I see myself as a problem solver first, and that mindset has served me across operations, circular economy, strategy, and client advisory work. These days my interests are firmly in strategy, sustainability, and circular economy. I find the questions at that intersection genuinely exciting: how do you build something that lasts, grows, and does less harm at the same time? I am looking to contribute to organizations and projects where those questions matter.
