Anna, what makes work at Improvin’ exciting?

First and foremost, the people. I’m lucky to work with these amazing colleagues. The team is driven, yet very humble, and includes some true experts in their fields.

It’s also exciting to work in an industry with such momentum. There’s a huge need for sustainability software solutions like ours.

As an engineer, you learn a lot of interesting things about the industry through your daily work. I’m currently working on our emission quantification models, and gaining a grassroots understanding of a topic like this has revealed to me just how complex sustainability in food production truly is.

What made you choose Improvin’?

People have always been my biggest priority when choosing a company.

I want to work with great people, learn from them and feel challenged. Being surrounded by individuals who share the same core values and mindset is a must-have.

I also need to feel energized by what we’re building. Our company has a very purpose-driven mission and a technologically exciting product. 

People, purpose and product combined made Improvin’ the perfect choice.

How do you feel about the team? 🌱

I met many team members during the recruitment process, and I was impressed. Since I started working, that feeling has only grown stronger.

I appreciate how well the team complements each other. Some of us are natural deep divers, while others are more pragmatic and focused on pushing things forward.

There’s no hierarchy or pickiness. Everyone is ready to pitch in and ship things quickly.

I really appreciate that.

What’s the out-of-office Anna into?

Right now, I try to spend as much time as I can with my partner and our son.

Otherwise, I’ve always been passionate about sports and outdoor activities. Cross-country skiing is my all-time favorite. I try to prioritize exercise as much as I can, even if right now it often means just a quick burst outdoors. 

During the pandemic, we lived in Åre in Northern Sweden for a few years and fully embraced the outdoorsy lifestyle. There’s nothing quite like meeting your friends on the slopes. 

Many of my friends now have kids too, so these days we often catch up via playdates. That said, we still try to prioritize some time for ourselves, like a good fika or a nice dinner.

3 things that excite you right now?

🎄 I’m really looking forward to the Christmas break with my family and enjoying some calm, quality time together.

🌟 I’m learning so much about the industry, and that fuels me. What we work with is genuinely super interesting.
