Hanna Karkulahti
I work as an IP Specialist at Genip Oy in Kotka being also responsible for invoicing and managing accounts payable. I started at Genip in 2012. My previous work experience includes for instance positions in administration, financial management and traffic coordinating at Fortum Oil & Gas Oy , Stora Enso Oyj and ILP-International Logistics Partners Oy.
I graduated as a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) in Russian Trade from the South Karelia University of Applied Sciences in 2003. I have also completed MBA (Master of Business Administration) studies at Kymenlaakso University of Applied Sciences in 2014. Additionally, I have completed accounting studies at the Open University of Eastern Finland and studied translation and interpretation at the University of Helsinki.
To expand my expertise, I successfully completed the EPAC exam (European Patent Administration Certification) in December 2022, that was the very first time it was held.
My strengths include accuracy and thoroughness. I always strive to think from a customer-oriented perspective, considering the overall picture.
I am fluent in Finnish and English and can work effectively in Swedish, German, and Russian when needed.
