Nina Kilpinen: From Engineering to Retail and Back Again: Unconventional Career Journey

In this episode of the Long Term Thinking for Business Success podcast, I sit down with Nina Kilpinen, the Managing Director of Seed Engineering, a specialist engineering consulting firm.  

Nina's career journey is anything but conventional. After spending almost, a decade as an engineer, she left the industry to build a shoe retailing business. Her entrepreneurial spirit led her back to engineering, where she now brings a unique perspective to project development and management. 

In this wide-ranging conversation, Nina shares her insights on overcoming barriers, the importance of project management, balancing engineering and entrepreneurship, and the value of career flexibility. She also discusses the challenges and rewards of being a female leader in a male-dominated industry. 

Whether you're an engineer, an entrepreneur, or a business owner, there's something for everyone in this episode. Nina's story is inspiring, her insights are valuable, and her passion for her work is contagious. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy this conversation with Nina Kilpinen.
