Top Insider Advice

It's a cliché, but I think that it's true. Do something you like or even love, and you will never work a day in your life. I really enjoy what I do and so it's not work. I would recommend spending some time and figuring out what are you passionate about. What are the things you like to do and what do you find rewarding? I would even take a personality evaluation. Being aware of your preferences will be tremendously helpful in guiding your career path.

What do you like about your job and the company?

I'm a lifelong learner. In this ever changing world you need to continually develop and stay current. Since I'm in charge of creating data science learning paths, I try to consume as much training as possible so that I can provide first hand guidance to other learners. I have to recommend lots of learning offers and I think students appreciate that I have first hand knowledge of the content I'm advocating. As an engineer, problem solving is part of my DNA. I really enjoy the opportunity to apply what I have learned. So overall my job has great balance - there is always a challenge.

Greatest achievements

As part of the Nokia Education organization (Nokia EDU) I developed a Data Science Achievement program. It's a recognition program for advance learning in many areas of Data Science. We just reached a milestone of 1000 students with Achievement Badges. The 4th Industrial Revolution runs on data, and I'm proud of this programs contribution to preparing Nokia for the demands and opportunities of this new revolution. Looking forward to 2000 Badges in the future.

It emphasizes the proactive mindset needed when seeking opportunities. Instead of waiting for opportunities to come to you, take action, be creative, and actively pursue your goals. Whether it is related to your career, personal life, or any other aspect, you can create opportunities through your efforts and determination. Open yourself to the possibilities; if you wait until you are ready, you might miss a unique chance. Be willing to have the hustle muscle to figure it out. Some opportunities might only come once, SEIZE them :)

I learned with my own personal experience, that we only know better our own culture, education, bias, and our own self, when we have lived at least few years in a different country and different culture (especially amongst locals). These (many years living in different countries and cultures) have expanded my horizon and my own identity, both professionally and especially personally. There is an emotional cost of "expatriating" oneself, but it is also truly a gift. There are many things that we cannot fully comprehend with only short visit, books or else, they have to be experienced over and over.

You don’t need to know everything from day one. What we value most is your attitude — curiosity, honesty, and a genuine willingness to learn. In IT, technical skills will always matter, but they’re just one part of the puzzle. No one expects perfection. What truly makes a difference is your openness to ask for help, your readiness to share knowledge, and your ability to collaborate with others. Honest communication and strong teamwork lead to the best outcomes. Stay curious, stay determined — with the right mindset, no challenge is too big to take on.
