What habits or routines help you do your job well?

Doing sports before work is essential for me; it ensures I start the day with an energized and clear mindset and helps me tackle the workday with a proactive attitude. Doing sports serves as a mental reset for me, allowing me to process complex tasks more effectively before the first meeting even starts. I really appreciate our Wellpass offer, which allows me to stay flexible with where and how I work out depending on my daily schedule or focus areas. Whether it's a high-intensity session or a quick workout to clear my head, it’s the perfect way to get focused before diving into the day's challenges.

What advice would you give to someone who sees a problem but feels unsure about taking the lead?

I’d say: dare to fail. The biggest mistake is letting fear stop you from acting on a potential improvement or solution. You can’t grow without putting yourself in situations where you might not have all the answers right away. Taking the lead is about trusting that you’ll figure things out as you go and knowing that the team has your back. Even if it doesn’t work out perfectly at first, the experience you gain and the resilience you build is far more valuable than staying on the sidelines and waiting for someone else to step up.

What do you love most about your work at FINN?

It’s the combination of the people and the constant learning. I’m surrounded by incredibly smart colleagues across all departments who are always willing to share their expertise, which makes it easy to gain insights far beyond my own area of operations. Whether it’s solving a new challenge, optimizing a process, or building a new strategy, this environment pushes you to grow every single day! There is simply no autopilot mode here. Beyond the business side, it’s the culture: I’ve not only found friends for life here but also a team that is all pulling in the same direction to redefine mobility. Seeing that hard work is recognized with real career opportunities is one of many things that makes FINN unique.
