Bio

I’m an entrepreneur and technology leader with a strong track record of building successful B2B SaaS products and businesses. We created a category for chat-based business communication platforms at Flowdock. At Smartly.io we built one of the fastest-growing SaaS companies globally. Being naturally curious about a broad range of topics, I’m continuously learning more. My interests include software engineering, leadership, lean and modern agile processes, systems thinking, product discovery and customer development, product marketing, and enterprise sales. I still write code and learn about new technologies, and I consider myself a capable software architect. Helsinki startup community is close to my heart, and I’ve served as the chairman of the Startup Foundation. I’ve contributed to community projects such as Slush conference, Junction hackathon, Maria 0-1 startup space, and the Startup Sauna accelerator. I’m also an angel investor and an advisor to various startups.
