During her time at Leaf Oy (1997-2006), she was praised for her strategic thinking and marketing actions and product launches that sparked constant growth for brands. At Felix-Abba (1990-1997), joint Nordic projects resulted in successful product launches (e.g. AC Nielsen’s Launch of the Year award for the launch of RisiFrutti).

Johanna is familiar with the journey of a consumer product from raw materials and production through the grocery store / HoReCa sector to the consumers. She knows how to influence buyers’ decisions and the consumer’s choice: what a good sales presentation, attractive food packaging or effective consumer promotion is like or what kind of advertisement works in the conventional or digital media; in other words, what actions to take to achieve growth in sales.
