Early influences

Growing up in Finland among forests, paper mills, and engineers, Dr. Gube developed an early interest in how things are made and how they work. Formative career experiences included management roles in corporate and industrial settings, and she was the first woman on the executive committee of a large manufacturing organization in the transportation industry.

Today’s focus

Dr. Gube’s academic research and professional practice centre on individual and organizational creativity, culture, learning, and innovation. Her work has spanned decades with clients ranging from industry to education, and she understands the cultural contexts that empower teams to be adaptive in the face of change and disruption. Dr. Gube applies her research findings, together with the broader science of emotions and creativity, to team challenges of organizational culture, psychological and emotional safety, and inclusion.
