“I started as a management consultant in an international firm after my graduation. What interested me in consulting was the versatile and project-based work and opportunity to solve many different kinds of challenges related to management and to accumulate experience in various fields. I still find the diverse array of challenges this job involves highly motivating.

I joined August in 2009. It is an exciting place to work, because it allows me to be part of building and developing a Finnish alternative to the leading strategy consulting firms.  Working at August you actively cooperate with your own team and the client. At best my projects have involved dozens of representatives from our client’s organization around the world. Although August is a Finnish consulting firm, we work in a global setting as our clients often have operations in many different countries.

One of the downsides of consulting and its fast-paced projects that take you to many different companies in many different countries is that you don’t always get to see the results of your work.  One of the best things about August is that our customer relationships are usually long-standing so we have the opportunity to see from close-up the impact of our work in the client organization in the long term. This makes your work even more meaningful and rewarding.

My favorite free time activity is sports. I also love to travel to new places and sailing along the Finnish coast.”
