Background

I have judicial training from Saint Petersburg, and I’ve worked in e.g. the UN’s human rights projects.

I’ve been with Wärtsilä since 2011, first as a Legal Counsel and later as a Business Development Manager.

What made you decide to study at Novia UAS?

I was interested in doing an MBA program in Great Britain but couldn’t find one that I could’ve completed alongside my work.

I was already familiar with Novia because my husband studied here, so I began to look for suitable programs.

What do you hope to gain from your studies?

My own goal with this program is to find new avenues and means for improving current processes.

Digitalisation is important for Wärtsilä, and I want to contribute to the positive development of this within my own field and do the right things in the right way.

I already have the practical knowledge, so it’s great to now also receive the theoretical foundation. Already at this stage it feels like I’ve gained a lot from the studies.
