About me
I head our firm's Data Protection & Privacy practice, and have over a decade of experience as a trailblazer in this fascinating field.
Data has become one of the keys to a successful business as digitalisation and new technologies, such as robotics and AI, become part of our day-to-day lives. I’m inspired by providing strategic advice to my clients’ upper management in projects aimed at leveraging data and technology in business development.
I have also assisted numerous clients faced with data breaches, which call for strong nerves, fast reaction time and cooperation between experts in numerous fields. I also represent clients in disputes and criminal matters before both general and administrative courts.
The new Data Protection Regulation requires even higher transparency of data processing and new ways of working. I help our clients create sustainable solutions for getting the most out of data in business.
I have years of experience advising clients in outsourcing and cross-border data transfer arrangements. I have carried out numerous data protection audits and drafted privacy programmes. I also regularly advise our clients in issues related to marketing, employment-related privacy and the processing of patient data.
Working with people is often the best part of my day. I am a popular lecturer and am praised for being able to explain complex and difficult subjects in an understandable way.
Chambers Europe, Legal 500, Who's Who Internet & e-Commerce, Information Technology and Women in Business Law rank me among Finland's leading legal experts. Finnish technology magazine Tivi listed me as one of the top 100 technology influencers in Finland.
