Jukka Jalonen, Head Coach of Finnish Men’s National Ice Hockey Team

Jukka Jalonen has a successful career as an ice hockey coach and has coached the Finnish national team to three gold medals in the World Championships.

As a coach, Jukka believes in leading and respecting the individual as an important contributor. Each successful team consists individual experts; however, it is only when these skilled and motivated individuals work together, that you have the recipe for a winning team. At the centre of it all, is building team spirit. Jukka’s keynote is built from his own experiences and tools on how to build a winning team.

Professor Mats Ehrnrooth (PhD), Hanken School of Economics

Mats teaches courses mainly on HRM, leadership and people analytics. His research, published in several prestigious academic journals, has covered HRM, leadership and organizational behavior from international, indigenous, cross-cultural and various methodological perspectives. Currently Mats’ work-in-progress, with international and national research teams, focuses on the unique and combined influence of leadership and HRM on employee and team outcomes. Much of this work is anchored in his collaborations on people analytics with partner organizations.
