From Hiring Manager

Hi My name is Lukas and I’m your new manager. I have about 15 years of experience from the Data & Analytics field, early on as a Data Analyst and later as a Data & Analytics leader. I’ve been managing different teams in the data and analytics field over the past 8 years.

I believe in building a strong team culture with rituals that create belonging and team spirit, with a high level of feedback culture. The importance of an environment where everyone can feel safe and comfortable and anyone can thrive.

Privately I love to spend a lot of time with my family, preferably in our summer house in the Finnish archipelago or in the mountains snowboarding and skiing. I do spend a lot of time in the gym to keep my body strong and sound to keep on doing what I love, skateboarding and snowboarding. I do pick up my guitar every now and then and love to watch 80’s movies.

Please note that due to summer vacation - applications will be processed from August
