About Anna Kotonen

Hi there, and welcome to my profile! I’m Anna, currently working as a Business Consultant at RELEX Solutions, where I get to help shape the future of supply chain value chain through the new True Inventory and Diagnostics products. It’s an exciting, fast-moving space where I work closely with early adopters, learn about early product-market dynamics, and drive product adoption in real-world settings. What draws me to this role is its entrepreneurial spirit—figuring as I thrive in cross-functional environments where I can iterate quickly, connect the dots between data and strategy, and help teams unlock real value. Before this, I was part of the Giant Leap Program at Vaisala, where I focused on simplifying product portfolios and supporting scalable growth. I’ve also worked as a Solution Analyst at RELEX, diving deep into supply chain challenges and building a product strategy framework as part of my Master’s thesis. I studied Industrial Engineering and Management at Aalto University and Biological Engineering at the University of Hawaii at Manoa so I’ve always had one foot in tech and the other in systems thinking and business side of things. Outside of work, I’m a competitive swimmer who’s all about pushing limits and staying curious. Always happy to connect with fellow builders, strategists, and innovators — feel free to reach out!
