"I started working at Machinery as a sales and purchasing assistant in 2012. Today, I am responsible for the machining tools business. My career at Machinery has progressed steadily and I have incrementally gained more responsibility as my skills have grown. I feel that my current role is very versatile.

My development has been supported in many ways during my working career. A couple of years ago, I was able to participate in Machinery's leadership training and last year I enrolled Boreo Academy’s Talent program. The contents of the trainings have always been very interesting and given a lot to think about in daily work and management.

Machinery has changed a lot as a workplace and as a company over the years. Today, Machinery is a modern workplace, communications works well and cooperation between departments is smooth. We have many very long careers, which shows that people value Machinery as an employer. It is also great to be able to work in an organization surrounded by a wide variety of experts who are always ready to help in any matter.

What truly motivates me in my work is when we come up with a solution to a challenging customer situation with the team and are able keep the customer satisfied. We also have a great, cooperative team in the machining tools industry. In general, I feel very good about having been given opportunities to develop and that good performances have been noticed.
