Johanna Småros: The GTM Story of RELEX Solutions ($5.7 Billion Valuation)

In today's episode of Unicorn Builders we speak with Johanna Småros, Co-Founder of RELEX Solutions, a supply chain and retail planning platform that's raised over $700 Million in funding.

Topics Discussed:

• Johanna’s background in engineering and management, and how a series of random unplanned events led her to where she is today
• Finland’s startup scene, and whether or not Finland is “the happiest place on earth”
• The two reasons why Johanna is reluctant to get inspired by individual founders, and why she likes to read fiction rather than practical books
• How planning processes in supply chain management and operational execution are siloed, and what RELEX does to help integrate them, to maximize business impact
• Why it’s good to fall in love with the problem rather than the technology, and what’s the most painful thing that can happen to an entrepreneur
