She will join Fingrid on 1 January 2016 and take over the responsibility for electricity market development as of 1 March 2016, upon the retirement of Executive Vice President Juha Kekkonen, who has held the position since Fingrid was founded. The Senior Vice President, Electricity Market Development is a member of Fingrid's executive management group and reports to the company's President and CEO Jukka Ruusunen.

She is currently the Director General of the Finnish Communications Regulatory Authority, and her work experience also includes positions as the Director General of the Finnish Energy Market Authority and as an Assistant Director in the Finnish Competition Authority.
