Fostering independence from young age | Leena Vesterinen, Finland

In the seventh episode of "Culture Mapping," we chat with Leena Vesterinen, a Finnish entrepreneur revolutionizing real estate investing with her company Asette. Leena shares her journey from Finland, where independence and entrepreneurship are fostered from a young age, to England, where she built various startups, and finally to the UAE with Careem.

Discover how Leena's background in user experience shaped her career and led her to leave the corporate world to pursue her entrepreneurial dreams. Join us for an inspiring discussion on building confidence in your strengths, embracing change, and building something of your own. We also covered a bit on mentoring and balancing your life when you are a female founder.
