My heart is in maritime, and my passion is in helping companies become successful through innovation. After a broad career in maritime industry, I am now managing projects at Spinverse, helping innovative companies to develop their businesses and gain funding for their innovation and industrial investment projects. I have been guiding companies, both small and large, through the intricacies of public funding with successfully securing over 150 M€ in grants and equity to my customers. I have run ~35 proposal preparation projects with funding instruments such as small and large-scale Innovation Fund, EIC Accelerator, Horizon Europe and local Finnish grants like Business Finland Veturi. My projects include challenging and coaching our customers' innovation potential and commercialisation strategies, whilst also delivering the desired output in timely and quality manner. If you have an innovative research or an investment project, feel free to be in contact and drive your business with public funding! My expertise in the maritime industry has been created at shipyards, design offices and authorities. I have been able to experience the entire chain of shipbuilding from the initial sales phase, where I designed ships almost from scratch to coordinating and carrying out tests on quay and sea trials. My main specialty lies in winter navigation, which I have researched in several EU projects. I have also held the position of trust as the president and board member of Wista Finland ry, an organisation of women professionals in the field of shipping and logistics. This global organisation has over 3000 members all around the world, and over 100 members in Finland.
Listed skills include Maritime, Naval Architecture, Shipbuilding, Marine Engineering, and 12 others.
