Bio
Hailey Wojcik
Hannu is smart, business focused, and incredibly funny and warm, meaning that he has the innate ability to connect with people at all levels of the organisation in a meaningful way. During his time at Groupon, he led a very complex restructuring of the Finnish business which led to increased profit and business efficiencies. Hannu really is one of the most passionate and committed people I have ever had the opportunity of working with. He strongly believes that through the right guidance, training and development people are capable of achieving anything they put their mind to. Oh and I should mention that Hannu once got a 'Hole-in-One' on the golf course which pretty much makes him the coolest person I have ever met. I cannot recommend Hannu enough, he really is exceptional.

Hannu's is a strong all round HR professional whose strengths lie in leadership development. He is quick to identify issues and works with the business and key stakeholders to develop approaches which improve not just people skills but has a real positive effect on the business. He is commercially focused, establishes relationships quickly, is object and can influence situations. I would have no hesitation to work with Hannu again.
