Innovation project manager with a passion for ecosystem building. Working at Vertical, a Nordic innovation business consultancy, I focus on helping enterprises to co-create and innovate with local and international startups. My job is all about the development of strategic relationships between stakeholders. I scout, evaluate, plan and guide through external & internal corporate innovation projects for Vertical clients and partners. In the past few years, I've worked with companies like Samsung, Pfizer, Telia, IBM, among others.

Prior to Vertical, I have worked in the Finnish Health & Wellbeing Startup Association, connecting the health startup community & enabled collaboration within the health industry. I was one of the most active participants in building the Nordic Health Investment Day conference and Upgraded Life Festival, the biggest health startup events in the Nordics. In addition, I was in charge of developing a program on a Helsinki and all Uusiamaa Region level, uniting public organizations, corporations, and startups.

With a background in humanities, I am interested in technology & innovation for the good of society. I thrive impact-driven projects, where apart from the business value I could contribute to making good for the world.

I've been a #womenintech & #nordicmade advocate for years. Previously, I was in core team members of the first Nordic brunch of Girls in Tech, an NGO focusing on focusing on empowering women in technology.

Lately, I’ve also got interested in the work of the Center for Humane Technology and realigning tech back to humanity. The intersections of tech and culture, tech, and education/health/arts fascinate me a lot.
