Joshua Nagel
Managing Director at Mediaplanet

"I report directly to Kristiina from September 2011 to September 2014. I can confidently say a few things about this wonderful business woman.

1) I have never met someone who puts so much energy and effort into her work. Even as the COO, she easily logged the most hours in the entire company of over 300 professionals. Her work ethic is driven by her passion for business, people and ultimately successful results. 

2) Kristiina is a natural. The skill set and habits she has developed while at Mediaplanet will set her up for success in anything she pursues; however, her natural business instincts and decision making ability will take her to greatness. She has taught me everything I know and has led me to so much success over the past 3 years. 

3) Kristiina is easily the most successful person in the 12 year history of Mediaplanet and its thousands of employees. I'm certain I will be reading about her in Time Magazine or Fortune in the next 5-10 years."

Eric Alexander
Global Head of Production & Operations at Mediaplanet

"I have had the pleasure of working closely with Kristiina for the last 3 years. During this time, Kristiina’s leadership helped redefine our business, internal operations, external communications, and corporate goals. She provided guidance to the entire organization with the right mix of sternness and flexibility necessary to drive a message through the entire company, always maintaining the highest level of professionalism and respect for others. Kristiina’s vision lead Mediaplanet through a very difficult transition from a print only company to a digital content marketing firm. She clearly defined our goals and skillfully lead the company to successful results. Kristiina is one of those rare natural born leaders which combined with her love for sales, passion for business, and drive to succeed, allowed her to keep those she worked with, including myself, motivated, challenged, and eager to perform. She has been an invaluable asset to Mediaplanet and will be so for any company or organization she decides to be a part of."
