The conversation is led by our alumna Mirva Puranen, who graduated from the Master's Program in Knowledge Management in 2021.

She wrote her thesis, which was also successful in the year's best HR graduate competition, about managing emotions in teams using emotional data. Her day job is to build services for members of Finland's largest unemployment fund. As a side hustle, she is focusing on emotion management and emotional leadership, and gives inspiring speeches about leading emotions in working life.
