Starting my own consultancy in January 2025. Stay tuned!

You have the know-how and understanding, I have the means to turn that into insights. As a strategy consultant, I don't have all the answers, but together we can create the best way to proceed that works in your current situation. It's all about seeing through the noise, prioritising and focusing on what really matters. And as a bonus, my experience will.

I help our clients create better products and find their Product/Market Fit. The results are products that users love & need and thus more successful businesses. One of the highlights of the role was creating and running a Product Accelerator for 2 years: my expertise in frameworks, concepts, business models, startups, growth and consulting was utilised.

My main responsibility is consulting our clients on growth and strategies. I help our clients by creating future roadmaps on how to grow and improve their businesses. I'm also responsible of leading our marketing team and utilising everyones skills so that they are beneficial for our clients. My other responsibility is improving MEOM's own business by.

Solteq and Descom merged to become a international digital commerce service provider. My prerogative was to transform the new company’s brand and marketing to be inline with the new strategy. The strategy relies on growth and internationalisation – success required a modern and unexpected approach. This position was full of new and exciting.

Descom merged with Solteq Oyj.My main responsibilities were:1) Marketing on a strategic level. Part of a fantastic marketing team that consisted of three personalities. We concluded core messages, dissected the desired brand, carved out customer personas, conceived content strategies, managed marketing tools and chose channels. All before lunch. 2).

Starting a high-end consumer product business in a declining and struggling market is a demanding task. During the first two years we, my business partner and myself, succeeded in building a recognisable distinctive brand, offering a completely new product to a conservative industry, hitting our sales targets, gaining vast brand awareness and reasonable.

One of my goals was to become a director before I turned thirty and I achieved this goal at 28 years old. The job was highly educating and gave me vast knowledge on how the public sector works.My responsibilities could be divided into three: 1. Member of executive group and responsible of general management of the town and business promotion. I.

The industry of HR and staffing is always in change and the opportunity to be responsible of an international company’s branch that specialised in technical and IT professionals was a huge honour. The branch was located in Tampere’s University of Technology and I had the privilege to visit and sell our services to some of the top companies in Finland..

Teaching, mentoring and public speaking has always been a professional turn on for me. As an instructor of sales and marketing, my different talents could be combined. I enjoyed creating the pedagogical material, educating adults and inspiring people about marketing. My responsibilities were growing, but a new unplanned opportunity arose and I decided to.

Tampere

After graduating I was in the weird situation of having to seek for a job. I ended up choosing an opening as a pharmaceutical representative in Tampere. I learned a lot about on-hand sales, handling PR and regional stakeholder relations, but the position was not what I expected and desired.

My first taste of management and having employees, fifteen of them. The unappreciated world of direct marketing opened before me when my future wife got an unique job opportunity in Hämeenlinna and I wisely followed her steps to the unknown.I was the head of sales and I was able to increase sales over 500 % through leadership skills by creating a positive.

My first serious full time marketing job. Doing a lot of hard work payed of and I was appointed to be a member of the executive group at the mature age of 23. Thank you for asking, I did shave daily. The most valuable learnings were related to trust and responsibility. Looking back, I had a lot of say on how things were done and the amount of faith was.

My first and last job as a chemist. I started my university studies as a chemistry student and I don’t believe in giving up. Even though I knew that this will never be my profession, I wanted to complete the degree. How many business directors can say that they have crystallised different molecule forms of gold thiosyanide or characterised the molecules by.

Slowly working my way up the marketing ladder, I was able to land a new project in the world of event marketing. I created a weekly concept for our customer nightclub Elohuvi and almost single handed delivered the whole concept from marketing to budgeting and organising to funding.

Four years of working while studying – financing own education and preferred lifestyle. Gruesome early awakenings prepare you for the future of professionalism. Sacrificing spare time and hobbies is the ultimate prep school of prioritisation. Mornings, evenings and weekends spent between the aisles teach you how to encounter strangers and have them leave.

My first gig as a paid marketer. Our team created an event concept for our client nightclub Elohuvi. You have to start somewhere and this was the perfect point to begin learning the ropes about professional marketing. We had guidelines, but as long as we stayed within them, we could wiggle any way we wanted. This was a liberating possibility.

Probably one of the most important jobs I have had. Brutal manual labour makes you appreciate life, studying and gives you the insight to what a tough job really means. Working, on the verge of breaking in to tears, mans you up and prepares you for the future challenges you will face. Buckle up boy, the ride has just begun.
