Ask me
- Anything related to the TELA organization, management or the earnings-related pension system in general
The pension system is like SUP boarding in the Archipelago Sea: even small adjustments are enough in rough weather, as long as you have a stable board, good balance, a clear direction and you look far enough towards the horizon.

In my spare time:
My active children and our rescue dog Eddy keep me on the move in my free time. I enjoy lots of different physical activity in general: in the summer I run and go stand-up paddleboarding and in the winter I go to the gym and do Alpine skiing. My favourite hobby is team gymnastics, which I’ve come back to as an adult after a 25-year break.
