I have a diverse and rich professional background that spans several challenging and rewarding roles, each of which has equipped me with valuable skills and experiences. Starting as an instructor at the Finnish Defence Forces Training Centre, I developed a strong foundation in leadership and management. This role taught me the importance of structured training and the effective coordination of teams. As a peacekeeper in Lebanon, I honed my teamwork skills in high-pressure environments. This experience emphasized the value of collaboration, communication, and resilience. Transitioning to insurance sales, I acquired essential sales and negotiation skills. This period sharpened my ability to understand client needs, present solutions effectively, and close deals successfully. At Adecco, I moved into construction industry recruitment, where I managed up to 100 personnel at a time. This role required critical organizational and multitasking skills, as well as advanced HR and sales expertise. I effectively balanced recruitment demands with strategic workforce planning. Currently, I am working as an Account Manager, focusing on new customer acquisition and account management.
