I first got to know August at the Arena career fair at the Helsinki school of Economics and in a company presentation organized by KY-Economics. After graduation, I decided to get some international experience and got a graduate position at a global energy company in the Netherlands. However, when I decided to come back to Finland, August was my number one choice.

Every August project is original and there is no typical workday, which I truly enjoy. I have done two-week due diligence projects for Private Equity investors, as well as several-month development programs for international publicly listed companies. I have been able to take as much responsibility of the project deliverables as I have wanted to. At first, my tasks consisted of preparing presentation materials and analyses, coached by senior colleagues. Nowadays I spend my days in client meetings, coordinating projects and supervising the analysts’ work. It has also been exciting to follow how August has gradually grown into a significant player in the Finnish consulting market. I cannot imagine a better growth company to be a part of.

During my free time I love to do sports, preferably with friends or my husband. In the summertime, I spend most of my time practicing golf and in the winter doing cross-country or down-hill skiing. My year-round hobbies include ashtanga yoga, running and enjoying good food – either at home or in a good restaurant. I am very glad that at August you can find people with similar interests and high work motivation. It makes everyday work both educational and fun.
