Years in Talent

Turning recruitment into a competitive advantage.

Based in Espoo, Finland, I'm a results-driven Talent Acquisition professional with a proven track record of building in-house recruitment functions from the ground up and closing high-impact, business-critical roles across tech, aerospace, and software domains.

From hiring Satellite Production Leads and RF Engineers to leading full-cycle recruitment for global scale-ups, I've delivered measurable outcomes in fast-paced, high-growth environments. My experience spans multiple continents — sourcing and relocating top-tier talent from Japan, Argentina, and across Europe.

I partner closely with leadership, HR, and cross-functional teams to ensure every hire contributes to long-term success. My focus: enable smarter hiring, reduce friction, and turn recruitment into a competitive advantage.

Giving back to the
community that gave
me my start.

"Finland has given me space to grow, opportunities I never imagined, and a community that welcomed me long before I felt fully ready. Being able to now stand in front of others and give back to the same community that once helped me find my footing means more to me than I can fully put into words."
