Summary
I used a few decades to build my truly global network of people, and now I am just connecting the dots. That's what I do, and I believe that's the talent I have - building real networks based on personal relations, and connecting the right people for long-term business opportunities. Whether it is for advisory, strategies, governmental relations, marketing & PR, networking, technology, or totally new business areas. But it's always about the rights dots, with true facts and right people, to create opportunities, find the right matches, right people, real decision makers - people who you might not be able to even reach without me. My skills? Networking & connecting in markets like ๐บ๐ธ๐ซ๐ฎ๐ธ๐ช๐ช๐บ๐ต๐ฐ๐ฑ๐ฐ๐ง๐ฉ and beyond. Change & transformation management and leadership. Strategies, new business, customer experience, marcom, trends, brand creation, involvement. Stakeholder Management, both private and public sectors in US, Europe, South-America and Asia. My experience? 30+ years global experience of working with companies in marketing communication, media, technology, energy, international trade and export, retail, e-commerce, luxury goods, strategic consulting, hospitality, tourism, advertising & marketing, lobbying and customer relations. And with so many international and global companies and brands. I have been part of the digitalization since mid 1990s, worked with startups when the whole word was just getting back to the vocabulary of international media, advised hundreds of companies - from new SMEs to world's giants, top management and boards, with their next steps into the world of internationalization, growth and new businesses. I have had a great pleasure to work with so many globals brands and companies like Nokia, Samsung, Sony, Siemens, Nestle, Procter & Gamble, BMW, MINI, Ford, Rolex, Shell, Vivendi, ABC, Disney, NBC, LA Times, Aller, Unilever, Taylor Nelson Sofres, Vodafone, Telia, Telenor, AT&T, advertising and communication agencies like WPP Group's J. Walter Thompson, Hill & Knowlton, all global consulting giants and various units of the European Commission and EU, as well as Governmental Agencies and Governments around the world. I am also the acting Hon. Consul General of Pakistan to Finland (2016-), Chairman of Finland Pakistan Business Council (2014-) as well as Finland Sri Lanka Business Council (2014-), also former Secretary of Consular Corps in Finland (2018-2023). That's my touch on the international diplomatic circles so far. Always ready for new challenges, so let me know how can I help you.
