Helsinki provides Natascha Wohlgemuth, originally from Germany and serving as Global Sales Director for the circular economy company Woodio, with an environment where career and family life seamlessly integrate. Wohlgemuth, who has lived in Finland for two decades, highlights the city's ability to blend natural beauty with urban living.
According to Wohlgemuth, Helsinki's straightforward work culture and minimal hierarchy foster a motivating professional environment. She is part of the local sustainability movement, where Woodio is developing a wood composite alternative to traditional ceramic materials for sanitary products.
