Bio
Katja Syväniemi
I had a great pleasure of being part of Hanne's team for over seven years at Lassila & Tikanoja. Hanne served as my direct supervisor, and I gained invaluable insights from her in the fields of corporate communications and branding. Throughout those years, she progressed from a mid-senior level to an executive level. During this time, Hanne consistently demonstrated exceptional expertise in guiding L&T’s corporate communications, branding, and sustainability efforts. She set clear goals and played a pivotal role in my professional growth. I learned a lot from her. Additionally, we enjoyed many memorable and fun moments during our collaboration. Notably, L&T's brand renewal was a standout achievement. Hanne is a talented leader with a proven track record in leading and executing corporate branding, communication and sustainability initiatives. Her innovative, collaborative, and result-oriented approach consistently yielded exceptionally great results for our team and the entire organization. Hanne's skills as an executive-level communicator, team leader, and strategist are truly commendable. Her passion, efficiency, and creativity shone through in every project. Working with her was an absolute pleasure. I wholeheartedly recommend her as an executive in the field of communications, branding and sustainability. She consistently goes above and beyond. Without a doubt, Hanne would be a huge asset to any organization.
