What truly sets Tarja apart is her proactive approach to opening doors. She mobilized her network to extend personal invitations to their exclusive events, giving me access to rooms I wouldn't have entered otherwise.

She champions gender justice not through words alone, but through consistent action to elevate young voices in global conversations. Her blend of strategic brilliance and genuine investment in emerging leaders, especially young women, makes her an extraordinary force for change."
