Anna Arai

Business Controller

I’m a business partner for several global functions, mostly in HR, and for cost management in our business areas, Terra and Crea. I collaborate with a variety of stakeholders from our business areas and functions in order to optimize our ways of working, find the best solutions and help make the right decisions to develop cost management and business scenarios.

Before joining Fiskars Group, I worked in finance-related roles for several big brands like Wärtsilä, Nokia, Metsä Group, Kone and finally Dentsu. Those roles gave me valuable experience in operational daily finance and s
I’m a business partner for several global functions, mostly in HR, and for cost management in our business areas, Terra and Crea. I collaborate with a variety of stakeholders from our business areas and functions in order to optimize our ways of working, find the best solutions and help make the right decisions to develop cost management and business scenarios.

Before joining Fiskars Group, I worked in finance-related roles for several big brands like Wärtsilä, Nokia, Metsä Group, Kone and finally Dentsu. Those roles gave me valuable experience in operational daily finance and strategic business finance, sales, brand profitability, and pricing management, as well as in driving change and business transformation. My previous experience has taught me to see the holistic business picture, be agile and always ask “why”. I also want to cherish a positive and proactive “attitude matters” spirit. With an efficient and dedicated team, only the sky is the limit.

I have brilliant colleagues, and that really matters! It is very impressive that even in these abnormal, remote times, people are so engaged and contribute to the business with their full capacity, and at times even beyond. In the future, I hope we’ll keep attracting even more agile minds, change ambassadors, and bold professionals who are united and drive towards the same goal.

Our company has an enormously rich heritage that we all are proud of. Being part of Fiskars Group is a true honor, without exaggeration. The company offers interesting and versatile opportunities, and there are multiple projects and initiatives to contribute to and lead. All of this, along with the unique people we have, make the journey at Fiskars Group a truly extraordinary experience.

Tao Huang

New Product Development Manager

I develop new products for gardening and scissors in our EMEA Terra and Crea business areas, but also serve as a lead design engineer for cooking products. I’m the perfect example of what a global company like Fiskars Group can offer to an employee – I’ve worked with almost all our cooking brands in China and Finland.

Coming from my hometown of Jingdezhen in China, which is famous for its porcelain, led me to work for Iittala in 2005 after graduating from the University of Art and Design in Helsinki. Over the years, I’ve taken different roles in sourcing, project management, a

Coming from my hometown of Jingdezhen in China, which is famous for its porcelain, led me to work for Iittala in 2005 after graduating from the University of Art and Design in Helsinki. Over the years, I’ve taken different roles in sourcing, project management, and new product development.

In my role, I see how teamwork really matters. My team of design engineers utilizes consumer data and insight as well as the outstanding knowledge in our factories and of our sourcing and supply chain specialists. Effective teamwork is the secret behind our creativity and innovations. I’m happy to be at the frontline of our new designs.

I’m a passionate cooking enthusiast myself, and often exchange ideas ex tempore with my colleagues when cooking at home. “Creating change” is the most meaningful of our values for me. The world around us is changing fast and our vision must look towards the future.

Change and creating something new doesn’t always mean completely new products. An idea doesn’t have to be huge to bring value. It’s all about user experience and details: a gardener cutting branches more easily, a chef filleting fish more ergonomically, or a remote worker enjoying the design of their coffee mug while having a refreshment. Every small detail differentiates us from our competitors and makes us Fiskars.

Vesa Liukku

Director, eCommerce, ECB

I work as an eCommerce manager leading the Wedgwood brand’s online business globally. Together with my team and teams across the globe, we work to ensure that we provide the best possible customer experience to our online shoppers.

I’ve worked in e-commerce and digital marketing in various roles, and in different countries, for the past 15 years. In digital, almost everything is measurable and you can see the results of our work in real-time. That adds a certain type of energy to our everyday.

I work as an eCommerce manager leading the Wedgwood brand’s online business globally. Together with my team and teams across the globe, we work to ensure that we provide the best possible customer experience to our online shoppers.

I’ve worked in e-commerce and digital marketing in various roles, and in different countries, for the past 15 years. In digital, almost everything is measurable and you can see the results of our work in real-time. That adds a certain type of energy to our everyday. There’s nothing better than savoring the moment, feeling the rush of a big campaign or activation, and being able to share that moment with your team of like-minded individuals who also love what they do.

Fiskars has a strong strategic focus on digital experience. The ability to exceed customers’ expectations online is crucial, and I’m happy to see that our ambition is high. Exceeding expectations also requires high ambition from the team, so when recruiting new team members, I want to see passion.

When considering a job, the company’s values are one of the most important things for me. Fiskars Group is a company that truly lives and breathes each one of its values, and those values all resonate well with my own personal ones. The most meaningful value for me is “growing with compassion”. Any company has the means to grow, but at Fiskars Group we’ve decided to do it in a way that respects our people, our communities, and our environment. We also hold ourselves accountable for doing that.

Nitayaruk Chomchuen

Solution Manager, CRM and Digital Marketing

I’m a product owner leading the development of CRM and digital marketing in our Direct-to-Consumer business. Our team provides a global IT solution for all Fiskars’ brands – for example, the Myiittala loyalty program is run on this platform.

I like to solve problems and get things done in an agile manner. I feel I’m encouraged to make my own decisions and initiatives without asking for approval for every new feature and iteration once the yearly roadmap is agreed.

I like to solve problems and get things done in an agile manner. I feel I’m encouraged to make my own decisions and initiatives without asking for approval for every new feature and iteration once the yearly roadmap is agreed.

I love Fiskars Group’s strategic focus on “consumer everyday”. I’ve noticed how we often start a sentence with “as a consumer…” or “thinking as a consumer…” and how doing that actually shifts the perspective. It’s not just us, but our customers that we work for. As a global company, we have colleagues around the world, but we could be even more diverse to gain a wider perspective.

I’ve been a loyal fan of Iittala and Fiskars products and design for years. After joining the Group two years ago, I’ve learned a lot about the company. I appreciate the fact that sustainability is deeply rooted in our culture. As an employee, I appreciate the way Fiskars has taken care of our safety and well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic. I’ve become more aware and interested in sustainability during my years at Fiskars.
