Continuing to Learn and Grow

Madeleine describes herself to be committed to her tasks, and eager to see and understand the bigger picture. “I ask questions when I don’t understand, because if I don’t understand, I won’t perform well. My manager provides me with valuable support that helps me shape my role and team interactions,” she says. Her ambition is that her team should feel joy at work every day.

This year, she would like to learn more about the pumps industry, to understand how the products manufactured by Metso are used in real life. “The key to developing is by showing interest and commitment, and by engaging yourself in the things that you want to know more about.

Life Outside Work

Madeleine is married with two children, age seven and nine. They live on a farm, and Madeleine enjoys farm life with her horses, cats, and dogs. She might get a goat also in the future. In her free time, she loves skiing and traveling with the camper van. You will most likely find her at a ski resort, throwing herself downhill at high speed. She loves seeing new places, that’s why the family have a camper van – it gives them the freedom to choose when and where to go, to follow the snow you might say. Having kids also means a lot of logistics, taking them to karate lessons is one example.

This year will be an exciting one for Madeleine, as she has just been appointed as one of three mentees at Metso to the International Women in Resources Mentoring Programme (IWRMP). The IWRMP is a globally recognized, cross-company program with participants from over 25 countries. It aims to support and empower women in the mining industry, helping them to advance their careers, navigate professional challenges, and build confidence for leadership roles. Madeleine is proud to be appointed and can’t wait to the start in April.
