Anu started working for the family business after the acquisition in 2019 when Timberwise took over the ownership of Parla from Mikkeli.

Prior to joining the family business, Anu made a long career in the demanding international medical device industry. Anu worked at Vyaire Medical as a global sourcing manager and before that e.g. at GE Healthcare in both product development and marketing as a project and product manager. The experience of this extremely regulated industry gives Anu an excellent ability to take on Timberwise’s sustainability topics as well as future development projects. Under her leadership, Timberwise will be able to respond better and faster to the needs of the different markets and our customers all over the world.
