After 16 years at BCG, people often ask me why I’m still around. There are three reasons.

Firstly, the people, who are brilliant, fun, challenging—just fantastic.

Secondly, there are the client relationships. It is very rewarding and exciting to be a trusted discussion partner to senior management, and you never get tired of it. 

Finally, there is the constant challenge. As soon as you think you are just managing to fill your position properly, someone is raising the bar. This combination of BCG people, clients, and challenge is in my mind unique, and fits my wish list of a perfect job like a glove!

Leading a team of intelligent characters with individual backgrounds makes every day an exciting journey. By leading this group of individuals towards a common goal, to create value for our clients, I am always amazed by the creative, dynamic, and open-minded team culture. We are all part of one team, regardless of whether one is a partner or has recently started—with this philosophy in mind, leading a BCG team is the most fascinating and challenging role.

Every day my work reminds me how it was to be handball player: we were a group of many individuals following one goal, being a winning team. If you want to join BCG, then you'll join a winning team.

BCG works in partnership with leading Finnish companies. We do our utmost to achieve true and sustained impact by collaborating across all levels of their organizations, from top to bottom. We want to build long and trusting relationships that help companies and individuals succeed.

I have personally been inspired by the ambition to be part of a team to lead all through my career. As a consultant I worked side-by-side with my middle manager counterparts solving the issues at hand and developing practical solutions. As a project leader I teamed up with the client project champion, and both of our teams, to drive the client organization forward. Now as a partner, I feel privileged to be a trusted discussion partner for the top management of our clients.
