About me: Before joining LBS, I worked in private equity and M&A, most recently as an investment director at CapMan Growth Equity, where I partnered with leading Finnish companies on their expansion journeys. Before this, I led M&A at a listed Swedish company, where I was in charge of divesting businesses in six countries. My previous life also includes a stint as an M&A lawyer at a leading Finnish corporate law firm, where I advised clients on complex cross-border transactions.

I chose the One-year MBA programme at LBS to broaden my business toolkit, accelerate my learning and immerse myself in London’s dynamic tech and start-up ecosystem. I’m particularly passionate about the intersection of technology and venture building and hope to contribute to the growing European start-up landscape. During my time at LBS, I look forward to deepening my business acumen and developing new skills essential for today’s rapidly evolving world.

At LBS, I’m actively involved in the Entrepreneurship and Private Equity and Venture Capital clubs, helping connect founders and students passionate about launching new ventures.

Outside the classroom, you’ll often find me exploring the English countryside and family-friendly corners of London with my children.

Three topics I can be approached about: One-year MBA and career support on the programme; private equity; entrepreneurship at LBS.
