Education: Bachelor in Business Administration, Rovaniemi Polytechnic Business School
Position: Key Account Manager, Energia Myynti Suomi Oy
Employed since: June 2010
I have been working in the energy industry for 10 years in total; first, as Account Manager and Trading Trainee at E.ON and later, as Senior Account Manager in Fortum Markets. When being employed at the Energi Danmark Group, I was Account Manager for 3 years and now, I am Key Account Manager.
I sell energy to the largest Finnish customers such as companies with the concrete industry, the food industry and public administration. I prepare tenders, find new prospects and tend a lot of meetings both with potential and existing customers. In 2013, we won a large tender and succeeded in bringing in Hansel, the Finnish state, as customers. It was a huge project and the tender itself took more than a month to prepare. Therefore, it was a great satisfaction to sign the deal with the Group’s largest customers so far.
I am good at networking and being outgoing which is important in my job. You have to be able to talk to many different people and to know the customers’ need in order to offer the best possible solution.
I like to be part of an international company in growth with great opportunities to advance if you want. There is a positive work culture and many great colleagues.
