If you’d told me at 13 years old, elbow-deep in grime at Saarijärven Säiliövalmiste cleaning factory floor, that one day I’d be navigating the complexities of finance and corporate administration, I’d have probably laughed and told you those positions are saved for the smart ones. But here we are, that industrious kid turned into a Business Controller with a penchant for numbers and a passion for operational efficiency. The early days of sweeping metal dust off the factory floor taught me two things: a solid work ethic and that nothing you do intensively is a waste of time. These early lessons in the value of earning my keep have stuck with me, shaping a career built on transparency, tenacity, and the kind of humor that only comes from teenage employment. In the leisure sector, I serve as a Business Controller, with a prior role as Finance Manager. My responsibilities encompass managing financial operations, strategic planning, analysis, assisting in management decisions and bolstering various departments to ensure their performance and optimal value contribution. Additionally, I oversee the management of IT hardware and software, ensuring seamless functionality and effective integration. My contribution to the executive team spans over five years, reflecting my commitment to leadership and corporate governance. My career progression from blue to white-collar leadership role demonstrates my ability to take on responsibility and deliver results. I bring a creative mindset coupled with a genuine enthusiasm for teaching and sharing knowledge. Academic background is in Electronics and Telecommunications Technology, complemented by studies in Organizational Leadership and Economics, which have equipped me with a basic theoretical foundation. My immediate goal is to understand and apply AI and automation in business operations. In the long run, I aim to continuously improve as a learner, instructor, and leader. What sets me apart is not just my positivity and tenacity but an exceptional work ethic that has been recognized as distinctive in my professional circle. I am innovative, driven, independent, and encouraging, yet I value precision and structure. While I am fully engaged in my current role, I am also open to discussing synergies and opportunities that align with my expertise and career path.
