About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Want to change the future of the world through an initiative called Monkey Business

ABOUT ME

I have been in CS for some time, but quite inexperienced couchsurfer (I have surfed once), a very nice, social guy, who has travelled a lot. I love travelling and meeting new people, I like cooking & laughing, enjoying life.

Professionally I want to challenge myself, so a lot of my travelling nowadays is connected to work and doing entrepreneurship internationally.

I am working as a part of a collective called Monkey Business, which was created on the search for a future organization, as a Team Coach. Our dream is to bring talking from the heart & caring to the professional world. How do we do it? We help transform cultures to support strategy in companies in Finland through Monkey Business' 5 year history - beside Finland we have done business & projects in 19 other countries.

PHILOSOPHY

Whatever you decide and want to do in your life, enjoy it every day!

My favourite tv series are Friends & Frasier. I love especially Friends, have watched it over and over again for many years now.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Many things, I guess. Depends on the definition. Lived in South America in 2007-2008, for instance. Lived again in Brazil for several months during 2001-2012 for work. Amazing experiences! The Latin American culture is very different, I have learned so much, I've also learned two different language because of that.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can encourage people for striving towards their dreams or finding them, towards entrepreneurship. I can offer my sincerity, caring and my friendship.
