"After I started working at Abloy, I gained more than 50,000 colleagues around the globe"
Hanna Sillanpää created a relaxed and humorous atmosphere at the very beginning of the interview. She seems to put people quickly in a good mood in any situation. Her journey at Abloy began four years ago by a recommendation of an old colleague. Hanna had already worked in the software industry many years and became interested in Abloy's digital solutions. Today, she is responsible for Abloy's digital products and smart locks product unit.
"I started in the role of Ecosystem Owner, where I reviewed our group's various technical ecosystems and made choices about what kind of technology platforms should we use at Abloy. Thereafter, I started leading the software solutions team from which I eventually moved to be responsible for the entire product unit. In short, our work revolves around smart locks. My team is amazing and I have a lot of faith in what they do.", Hanna states.
"Abloy is also an interesting company in the sense that some people have worked here 20-30 years and many have really diverse career paths. In the same way, I have experienced three different roles in four years working here and that says a lot about Abloy's career opportunities", Hanna laughs.
