Envision the future, realize it today!

These few words summarize quite well who I am. It might sound grand to envision the future, but to me this means that I try to treat problems as possibilities rather than frightening obstacles. It means to question the status quo, to dare to step outside the box and look at problems from a different perspective. And do something about them!

My friends and colleagues would probably describe me as compassionate, straight forward, and entrepreneurial, with a never ceasing passion. My passion is what drives and motivates me. Life would be pretty dull and uninteresting to me if I didn’t contribute to something I really believe in, something I am passionate about. However, it doesn’t mean that every step of the way has to be fun and exciting, but the vision, the ultimate goal has to be something I really believe in. I’m not intimidated by hard work in order to achieve great results, because that is what it takes.

I have learned to tackle setbacks in a constructive way, turning them into something positive. There were many tough and dark moments of difficulties in the project of VilleValla Pub, but my passion and the common vision of everyone involved conquered the challenges. I think the need for a well communicated vision and passion for that vision was extra important in the VilleValla project, since neither I nor anyone else got paid during the two-year project.

No one alone beats a team. That is my firm belief. The strength of a team is that everybody brings something unique to the table, and teams should therefore be heterogeneous in my opinion. I enjoy collaborating with many different people, locally as well as global, professionally and in non-profit organizations. As Program Manager I have long experience to coordinate a large number of contributors and team members, securing deliveries and keeping budgets and deadlines. I believe in giving people a lot of personal space encompassed with responsibilities, to be there with guidance when needed and to set clear and challenging goals.

A hallmark of me is my very high moral to keep promises and a deep founded belief to always deliver, on time and with excellent quality. This, together with my conviction to embrace feedback and continuously reflect and contemplate on my own and others actions, makes me a good Program Manager. I’m dedicated to my endeavors and to those who trust in me.
