I worked as interim HR director in our client company. I was responsible for versatile HR/D issues and I was happy to add value to the work community and help the client company to achieve its business goals.

My main role was to create together with the people a work community, where everyone was able to use their strengths, learn and achieve our goals. I lead Human Resources activities (employment issues, recruitment, compensation & payroll, learning & competence development, culture & way of working, occupational health and safety). As part of the WordDive Group team I had also other responsibilities and I did my part to create a workplace, where there was room for excellence, curiosity, and growth. I enjoyed the journey that gave me both the possibility to use my knowledge and experience and at the same time learn a lot about growth companies.

I was responsible for working life relations and learning services (e.g. professional development services, transnational education services). Through these services we (about 50 people) offered professional development solutions, where we utilised the breadth and depth of the university community’s expertise in the areas of technology, health and society to develop our services boldly and creatively. Our common goal was to offer state-of-the-art solutions to support our customers´ professional development. As an enthusiastic lifelong learning lover, I enjoyed producing competency development solutions and leading learning and learned a lot from different professionals.

My primary responsibility was to drive university´s strategy "Human Potential Unlimited" from people and culture point of view. I was CHRO and led People and Culture -unit (talent attraction, employer brand development, recruitment, employment issues, payroll, HR systems, HR development and assistant services). We (about 120 people) provided to our community many HR services, helped with competence and talent development issues and worked together to make our community better. Even though I had already a lot of experience on mergers and change situations, I still learned in this and previous position more about the challenges of different cultures and how to build a new shared future during the years of the merger of two universities.
