Kaisa Huikuri

Ulla vastasi tiimissämme alumni- ja lähettilästoiminnasta sekä erilaisista viestinnän ja markkinoinnin tehtävistä. Päällimmäisenä tulee mieleen, että Ulla on sellainen, joka rohkeasti lähtee toteuttamaan ja ratkomaan monimutkaisiakin kokonaisuuksia. Hän sai alumni- ja lähettilästoiminnan vahvaan kasvuun, innosti mukaan monia uusia nuoria ja piti langat käsissään budjetoinnista alkaen. Projektihallinnan lisäksi Ullalla on kyky tuottaa kohderyhmiä puhuttelevia, inspiroivia & tyylikkäitä sisältöjä. Työkaverina Ulla on mitä toivoa saattaa: empaattinen tyyppi, joka tuo yhteiseen tekemiseen erilaisia näkökulmia, antaa toisille positiivista palautetta ja panostaa työpaikan yhteishenkeen ja hauskanpitoon!

I have had a chance to work with Ulla on several occasions and she is without question one of the greatest and best humans I´ve met. I respect her creative uniqueness, storytelling and her positive growth mindset. She is talented content creator, curious and very productive.
