In this month's #ThePeopleBehindSmartCraft we are in Helsinki to talk to Satu Valldén (Lehtonen) who is the Business Lead for EL-VIS Suomi.
💬 Satu, you are Business Lead, what do you do and what´s important in your role?
“The heart of my role is my deep passion for EL-VIS. I'm committed to championing our solutions, sparing no effort to ensure they thrive in Finland while also supporting our Swedish counterparts.”
💬 As an employee, what´s unique about SmartCraft and what do you value the most in your job?
“I've been with SmartCraft for 7 months now, following 17 years at the Electrical Contractors' Association STUL Finland. What I've realized is that despite our company's growth, we remain efficient and lean. Contacting any level of management across the company is easy. We excel at analyzing our position, planning, and making quick decisions.”
💬 How does your job contribute to a better day for construction companies?
“In my previous role, I aimed to help electrical companies with their daily tasks to foster their success. Reflecting on it now, that mission remains unchanged. At EL-VIS and throughout SmartCraft, we're dedicated to simplifying everyday processes for our customers and the entire building industry, promoting better business practices, awareness, and quality. “
💬 Do you have any unique skills or fun facts about yourself, at work or private you would like to share?
“Professionally, I believe I possess two crucial skills: attentive listening and a broad perspective. I can read between the lines to address issues customers may not even realize they have. This approach extends to my personal life. Outside of work, I find solace in winter swimming. It's like hitting the reset button. Submerged in 4°C water, all you focus on is your breath—no room for worries, just being present and finding calm. Additionally, whenever possible, I love to travel, often to Spain, although it's tough to find chilly waters there” 😊
