What is your role at AFRY, and what is your professional background?
I am a Manager in the Bioindustry sector, focusing on Wood Products. I joined AFRY Management Consulting in 2017, previously working at a global pulp and paper manufacturer. I have a degree in Finance and Accounting from the Stockholm School of Economics, Sweden.

I enjoy many things here. The wide variety of projects and assignments we work on means that I never get bored, and it provides an opportunity to gain experience and knowledge continually. The positive team spirit, working alongside industry experts to answer questions and tackle challenges in our industries, also motivates me. The flexible work setup, which allows me to combine work with my private commitments and interests, is a sign of a modern and forward-thinking employer.

Being a Team Player! So much of what we do requires us to work together in teams towards a common goal, helping and supporting each other. This has become even more important since the pandemic, when work had to be done completely remotely, and I believe cooperation with colleagues and clients is an absolute requirement in order to be successful with us.
