Episode Synopsis
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
Favorite book:
The End of Eddy: A Novel
