Summary
Dynamic Leader in Growth and Innovation | Investor | AI & ICT Specialist A high-energy multitasker with a passion for driving growth in dynamic companies. My focus lies in developing and executing growth strategies, identifying and solving bottlenecks, shaping new directions, and uncovering new opportunities that push businesses forward. Born in Helsinki, I graduated in Finland in the late 80s and have since built a diverse international career. I had the privilege of working in Finland, the Netherlands (1994), the UK (1997-2000), and the USA's Silicon Valley (2001-2005), where I specialized in expansion and international business opportunities for technology growth companies. With a special interest in the ICT, impact and health technologies, and a strong focus on AI. I have been directly involved in the international expansion of more than 200 firms. As an active angel investor, I’ve backed over 60 startups, supporting visionary founders whose unique ideas have evolved into thriving companies. Over the past 15 years, I’ve been fortunate to help turn these innovative concepts into success stories, leading to four notable exits. Professional Experience: With extensive experience in international technology businesses, my career includes key roles prior to co-founding Accelerando and Partner Up Ltd. I spent time with Finpro in the USA and UK, and co-founded WCL Wireless Commerce Ltd. (UK) and WS Wireless Services Oy (Finland). Additionally, I've worked in project, product, and unit management at Nokia, as well as sales, partner, and marketing management at TeamWARE Group. I hold a Master of Science degree in Economics, specializing in ICT, and a PD degree in International Marketing Management. Specialties: Digitalization, Artificial Intelligence (AI), market entry strategies, partnering, growth funding, mergers & acquisitions (M&A), wireless and mobile businesses, Finnish and international ICT sectors, commercialization of ideas/products, business globalization, growth strategies, go-to-market strategies, leadership, B2B market expansion, and investment.
