As a Customer Relationship Manager, I led Haaga-Helia's Partnership relationships, strengthening processes to maintain high quality and instructing Haaga-Helia's more than 50 Partner Managers. During my leadership, I managed to get 91 new partners for Haaga-Helia. In addition, I renovated the partnership program, which resulted not only in better customer satisfaction but also in 32% growth in sales.In addition, I was in charge of the Executive MBA (MBA) Program, taking care of the budget, marketing, and choosing the lecturers for these very highly rated studies for business managers.

My aim was first to get familiar with the higher education in Colombia and the ambitious project the government had in order to reform the technical/vocational education. Apart from the daily consulting, I also presented the features of Finnish education in various occasions for both governmental agencies and educational institutions during my stay in Colombia. After gathering the necessary information the final outcome of the project was a series of recommendations for the Colombian education, based on the particular characteristics of the country.

Euneos Corporation is one of the most important organizations in Northern Europe offering Erasmus Courses. The courses are organized not only in Finland, but also in Estonia, Spain, Portugal, and the Netherlands. As a CEO I had the overall responsibility of the company's operations, including managing the course and trainer portfolio.

I was hired to plan and develop the company’s expansion in the field of education export. This includes establishing necessary connections in different parts of the world in order to find the right business partners in the selected countries. As a special assignment I am also responsible of organizing an International Conference of Education to be held in Finland in 2017. In May 2016 I moved from Vertikal to VisitEDUfinn, a spin-off company that continued the work that I started at Vertikal.

My objective was to prepare an international sales strategy for the company’s new e-learning software and initiate networking and sales activities. My mayor accomplishment was that in two months time I closed successfully a piloting deal with two Chinese schools in Shanghai and Guangzhou, and found partners in Hong Kong. In addition my entry plan for the Asia/China market was highly appreciated by the head trainer of FEC (as this job was part of the Gateway to Asian Business FEC -training).

At EduCluster Finland I had a dual responsibility: First of all, I took care of different international sales activities (such as dealing with agents, preparing presentations and offers) with the Spanish speaking world. I also co-hosted and interpreted a Chilean delegation for one week during their visit in Finland. My other responsibility was HR-related and included most of the company’s assignments in that field. I successfully developed an extensive HR process description for the company, started an employee well-being project and initiated the renovation of the Expert Database.

I was lecturing business-related issues such as CRM for adult students in this well-known Finnish business school. Even though I did not had the opportunity to attend many classes (due to my new employment at EduCluster Finland) I still received very positive feedback due to my enthusiastic way of teaching.

I taught and evaluated a Spanish Business Language course as a substitute teacher. Afterwards I received very positive feedback for creating an pleasant study environment and for encouraging the students to speak Spanish at the classroom.

My responsibility in a nutshell was the introduction of this Spanish company’s unique organic caviar to the global market. To succeed in this I participated in many international trade shows, and identified and negotiated with the most important caviar distributors globally. As a special assignment I prepared the entry plan for the US markets and started implementing it successfully by negotiating with local business partners in New York and Boston. The company received extra governmental financing due to this realistic expansion strategy.

I started as a Sales Coordinator but after six months ended up managing the Spanish operations of one of the biggest Finnish private employment agencies. During my leadership the sales went up more than 400 % in one year. The key to the success was that I initiated and executed a change in the sales model and created a motivated sales team. In addition my permanent emphasis on quality resulted as an extraordinary client satisfaction with many important Spanish and International companies. The difficult economic situation in Spain, however, made it impossible to reach reasonable profits in a short period of time. So, after the headquarters decided to close down all the businesses in Spain, I executed the plan in a given time frame and without any bad debt.

I was responsible of Sales and Marketing at one of the three offices the company had in Fuengirola. During many years I reached extraordinary results selling properties mainly to Spanish customers. I also developed sales and marketing activities - such as strengthening the cooperation with other real estate agencies - in a way that increased the turnover significantly. As a renowned professional I published articles and was interviewed in the local Finnish newspapers about the real estate markets in Spain.

I am the second owner of this nowadays highly profitable information security company. I draw (while living in Costa Rica) the first comprehensive business plan, with special attention to market and competitor analysis. At the time I worked actively in the company, I was in charge of the overall operations such as finance, sales and marketing. I also played a key role in the negotiations getting external finance from private and institutional investors.

I started a management consulting services company that specialized in employee incentives and recruitment of Hungarian it-professionals during “the dot-com bubble”. I shut down the company after my involvement in Deltagon Group.

I started my sales oriented career at the age or 16 and for the first ten years I was responsible of the dairy product department during the weekends and summers in important local department stores.
