About

I've been in IT since 1987. Entrepreneur since 1998. Founded 20+ companies. Done all possible types of exits. Until 2019, main focus was B2B SaaS and custom software development, sales, marketing, project management, general management. Since 2019 ESTBAN member, angel syndicate VC founder. I have worked in small companies, corporations, founded companies myself to create human-dignified environments. What I've enjoyed most is mentoring business units, including in large companies. Managing people and technology is a developmental challenge. I have been a mentor in various EAS programs since 2010. I actively help startups today in various accelerators (Kiuas, Red Brick, Nordic Business Ventures, PowerHUB) as a mentor. I work with my business clients as an advisor and mentor. The prerequisite for cooperation is compatibility in terms of field, goals and personalities. My role is very clear - I am a business advisor to owners and management. I don't make decisions. I ask detailed and perhaps uncomfortable questions and get to the core of the matter. Those who really need change and are looking for new ideas from a provocative co-thinker have achieved the best transformative results. I'm not a friend, nor a yes-man. I come to help solve problems, conceptually, fundamentally. My position is rather at the beginning of the process, where the most added value can be created with company strategy change. Sometimes the time is also ripe to make a direction change. Unfortunately, I have seen that great people just rush around, but don't know - where to. Instead of rushing, one should know the right direction. Then reasonable effort is enough. My superpower is seeing the big picture and details at the same time and putting together a strategy from that. Implementation remains with the client. You can work with me like this: If I believe I cannot provide value, I will return the advance payment after the first meeting.
