Over the years, my vision and driver has always been to make a positive impact in everything I do. I have been committed to helping people thrive by leading change, building inclusive cultures, and fostering leadership that allows individuals to be their authentic selves. I care deeply about making a positive impact on the people I work with, and mentoring talented professionals is a role I hold close to my heart.
The past six months of running my own company, Takko Advisory, have been transformative. As the founder of Takko Advisory, I have had the privilege of immersing myself in a diverse range of projects, collaborations, and inspiring initiatives. Each has contributed to my growth as an advisor, consultant, public speaker, and advocate for sustainable leadership.
My core focus is doing meaningful work driven by purpose: from keynotes and webinars to advisory roles and passion projects, this half-year milestone is an opportunity to reflect on the exciting path Takko Advisory has taken so far and to share some of the highlights that shape my mission and purpose.
Public Speaking: Insights and Inspiration
Webinar on Pay Transparency
In collaboration with Perform and Pay, I led an insightful discussion together with Perform & Pay to underline and open up the bigger picture around Pay Transparency. This issue goes beyond just pay, in my view it’s fundamentally about leadership, creating an equitable workplace with open and transparent communication and people processes that fully support and drive equity. This is the foundation that enables equal pay for equal work and brings transparency and fairness in compensation, emphasizing the value it brings to employee trust and company culture.
Keynote at Henley Business School’s Masterclass in Helsinki
Together with Henley Business School, we designed and delivered an impactful organizational development program targeted at the senior leader population alumni from a variety of industries. During my keynote at the Masterclass, I emphasized the role of leaders in championing social responsibility within their organizations and communities. Sustainable leadership demands specific skills such as building a purpose that attracts key stakeholders, as well as social skills to collaborate, lead changes, and think systemically in order to build a culture that attracts talent and facilitates adaptation to a fast-changing world and work life. Additionally, I shared concrete examples around sustainable leadership, a people-centered change approach, and a commitment to collaborative practices that benefit society and businesses alike.
