Ana Granvik<\/h3>

General Legal Counsel and HR Director<\/p>

How would you describe your day-to-day work in one sentence?<\/strong>
Intense, every day is a different story.<\/p>

What led you to a career in the manufacturing industry?<\/strong>
Destiny, I didn\u2019t plan it, but once I entered the industry, it felt like exactly the right place to be.<\/p>

What do you enjoy most about your current role?<\/strong>
I enjoy the constant challenges and the complexity of solving problems where business, people and fast-paced growth intersect. There is no routine here.<\/p>

What is one thing about this industry that surprised you?
<\/strong>How much room there is for innovation. From the outside, manufacturing can look traditional, but once you\u2019re inside you realise it\u2019s full of complex technology and people with beautiful and innovative minds.<\/p>

What advice would you give to other women considering a leadership role in this industry?
<\/strong>Don\u2019t wait for permission or to feel \u201cfully ready\u201d. Leadership comes from taking responsibility before you feel comfortable. Learn the business deeply, focus on delivering results and speak up, even when you\u2019re the only woman in the room. Competence builds credibility.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Hanna-Leena Islander<\/h3>

Group Operations Director<\/strong><\/p>

How would you describe your day-to-day work in one sentence?<\/strong>
I operate at the intersection of strategy and shop floor execution \u2014 ensuring our end-to-end value chain performs predictably and that teams operate in sync.<\/p>

What led you to a career in the manufacturing industry?<\/strong>
I was drawn in by the immediate and measurable impact manufacturing has on customer value, competitiveness and business performance \u2014 it\u2019s where decisions turn directly into results.<\/p>

What do you enjoy most about your current role?<\/strong>
I enjoy developing high-performing operating models and growing leadership capabilities. Seeing how these improvements elevate our long-term performance is deeply rewarding.<\/p>

What is one thing about this industry that surprised you?
<\/strong>How multidisciplinary machine building truly is. Mechanical design, automation, sourcing and service must operate as one system; even small misalignments can impact the entire delivery.<\/p>

What advice would you give to other women considering a leadership role in this industry?<\/strong>
Step forward with confidence. You don\u2019t need to fit a predefined mold to succeed in manufacturing leadership. Clarity, accountability, and the courage to make decisions are powerful assets \u2014 and so are different backgrounds and ways of thinking.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
