Greetings from your chairperson, Heidi Heikkilä!
I am and have long been a big fan of international collaboration. I think that possibilities for learning and innovating are greater together. Especially here in Nordics, where it sometimes feels quite dark and lonely, being slightly aside of all the buzz in a world. My career in rolling stock world and public transportation is as mature as NLRA, I started in HKL late 2020. Before that I had a chance to learn all the principles of reliability, availability, maintainability, safety and asset management in other, but not so different industry, aviation. In aviation also my love for international collaboration and influencing was born, as I was participating in legislation improvements and international guidance in International Air Transport Association (IATA) working groups. That knowledge and enthusiastic I have wanted to bring to NLRA, where I have been acting as a board member since 2022. As a new chairperson I wish to continue the work started with Bernd and other active members in NLRA working groups and board to unify the industry, to learn from eachother and to make the Nordic voice heard vider in the world.
