Bio
Sebastian Stachowiak
Riikka was invaluable to the success and turnaround of the Astellas business in Finland, especially in urology in the role of Project Leader. She is extremely driven and determined to ensure that company objectives are implemented to high standards. She continually takes into account the role and relationships of the sales force, head office and customers in her decisions. Riikka quickly builds rapport and trust with those around her, and is not afraid to think outside the box and action ideas after careful consideration. In my view a team player who I would always welcome.

As a Project Manager at Astellas I initiate, plan, execute and follow-up both projects driving sales and projects related to Astellas' field of business in general. Strategic and tactical planning, cooperation with KOLs, PR, branding and cooperation with Nordic marketing are my main responsibilities. Adapting Nordic projects to meet the national requirements are part of my work. My focus is in following that product objectives are achieved and that we constantly develop successful and create new concepts to reach our targets. I am responsible of certain KOL activities and relations and work constantly to maintain and develop our customer relations by ensuring high quality in our activities. I work closely with sales force and sales management as well as with marketing and medical departments in the Nordic head office in Copenhagen being a member of Nordic Brand Team. Show less
