“After I graduated, I heard from the professor of finance who supervised my thesis that August was recruiting new consultants. I thought consulting would be a perfect fit for me professionally, because it is a combination of working with people and analytical thinking. I immediately took to August’s humane, honest and dynamic entrepreneur-like approach and great team spirit.

Having worked for a couple of year on highly varied projects ranging, from pricing and service concept development to defining new accounting principles, it was time for me to focus on having a family. After returning to work from parental leave, I wanted to engage in even more human-oriented tasks and I’m now responsible for human resources at August, which I’m more than happy about. In practice, my job description covers recruitment, personnel development and resourcing. I also participate in several development projects. I’ve really enjoyed working on the “other side” of consulting, and having been able to contribute to the development of a company that is at a really exciting part of its life cycle. I could not imagine a more diverse and interesting job than my current one with August.

I’m passionate about my work as well as other important things in my life, such as cooking, home decor, music, friends, skiing and sports in general. The most important thing in my life is, however, my family and my two lovely kids. I’m so happy that I’ve been able to combine work and family life and work a shortened week while my children are still small. A challenging job and two small children isn’t always the easiest of equations.  At August, this turned out not to be a problem.”
