I value high ethical standards and cherish the opportunity to collaborate with professional teams to benefit patients while adding value for our customers. Throughout my career, I have had a special focus on digital transformation, which continues to be a key area of interest. At Mehiläinen, I lead the substance abuse services, focusing cureently on working-age individuals. Our goal is to reduce harmful substance use by implementing structured assessments and comprehensive treatment plans in collaboration with occupational health care and other professionals. We emphasize the importance of holistic care, ensuring that our patients receive the necessary medical attention and support to improve their overall health and well-being. This multidisciplinary approach aims to address substance abuse issues effectively and support employees in maintaining their work abilities. I enjoy working in roles with a competent team and a full business perspective. My professional expertise and vast networks have made me an experienced public speaker. I understand how media relations work and have regularly collaborated with the Finnish press and television on various occasions. In recent years, I have served as an expert in both the clinical field and treatment systems in several governmental working groups, gaining deep insights into public decision-making and the service system. I have a specialist medical degree in Public Health and finalized an EMBA degree at Aalto University Executive Education in 2023.#leadership #healthcare #business #transformation #digitalization #medicine #health_and_social_services #professional #quality #productivity #profitability
