My name is Tiina Paakkari and at Blic...

I started my job as a trainee at Blic’s Brussels office in August 2022. I have previous work experience, including positions at the Ministry of the Interior’s Immigration Department and at Finland’s Permanent Representation to the European Union, where I worked on defense and security policy. Brussels is already a familiar city to me, and it’s been wonderful to return. Before heading to Brussels, I graduated with a Master’s degree in Social Sciences from the University of Tampere, where I studied international politics.

Working at Blic means more to me than just the opportunity to apply my broad understanding of cross-cutting societal phenomena; it also represents a leap into the fascinating world of consulting. In my view, in today’s fast-paced world, the success of businesses and societies requires agility and the ability to anticipate the future. In this sense, tasks such as keenly observing political decision-making processes and problem-solving activities are particularly motivating job opportunities for me.
