“I enjoy seeing how something once unfamiliar becomes part of my daily flow”

Sanni-Sohvi Kujanpää joined TT Gaskets in early 2023, transitioning from the construction industry to manufacturing. The shift was significant, but for her, it was the right move. 

“I’ve been happy with the change,” she says. “There’s been a lot to learn, and that’s exactly what keeps me motivated.” 

As an Inside Sales Engineer, Sanni-Sohvi plays a vital role in supporting both customers and the sales team. Her daily tasks include quotation calculations, updating pricing, responding to customer inquiries, and assisting sales representatives, for example, by creating item codes and ensuring that everything flows smoothly behind the scenes. 

From new beginnings to confidence 

Though her job title has remained the same since day one, her expertise has grown rapidly. 

“With time and experience, tasks that once felt unfamiliar have become routine. It’s incredibly rewarding to look back and see how far I’ve come,” she reflects. 

This continuous learning and the opportunity to help both customers and colleagues is what keeps her inspired. “I like the feeling of growth, when something clicks, and you realize you’re getting better at what you do.” 

Empowered to work smart 

Sanni-Sohvi describes TT Gaskets’ work culture as people-oriented and empowering. 

“There’s a real sense of trust,” she explains. “I have the freedom to plan my workday in a way that suits me, which makes it easier to keep a good balance between work and free time. And being able to work remotely adds to that flexibility.” 

She also highlights the warmth and support of her colleagues as one of the best parts of the job. “You’re not just seen as a role, you’re seen as a person. That makes a difference.” 

Everyday moments that matter 

While she can’t pinpoint one standout moment, Sanni-Sohvi says she’s genuinely enjoyed building relationships with her coworkers, both at work and beyond it. 

“Business trips have been a completely new experience for me, and I’ve found them really enjoyable.” 

Outside of work, she’s passionate about CrossFit and golf, though she admits she’s also a bit of a homebody. “On weekends, I like to slow down and spend time with friends and family.” 

And if you ask her to share a fun fact about herself? 

“I’m not interesting,” she says with a grin. But anyone who knows her would say otherwise.
