Our Founder and COO Anu NWiTA Entrepreneur of the Year Finalist!
Anu, our Founder and COO, Honored as Finalist for NWiTA Entrepreneur of the Year!
We’re proud to share that Anu Ala-Outinen, our COO and founder, has been named a finalist for Entrepreneur of the Year at the 2025 Nordic Women in Tech Awards—selected from over 700 nominees across the Nordics.
This recognition means a lot to us. It’s not just a personal milestone for Anu, but a moment that shines a light on how essential her leadership has been to Moder’s journey.
When we founded Moder in 2020, Anu had a clear vision:
“Let’s build the kind of company we always wanted to work in—but never found.”
That vision still guides us. Anu has been the force behind building a company culture that’s ambitious, but transparent, fair, and refreshingly free of corporate nonsense. She’s championed a workplace where people are trusted, supported, and treated like adults—and where customers are genuinely cared for, not just managed.
Thanks to her leadership, Moder runs with purpose, focus, and heart. We’ve been able to grow fast while staying grounded—scaling operations, expanding markets, and keeping our team culture intact.
We’re incredibly proud to see Anu recognized on this stage. It’s more than deserved.
Congrats, Anu. You make Moder what it is.
