This is my professional journey
I am a business professional with 17 years of experience in FMGC and hospitality industries in both local and international markets. I have worked for multinational corporations as well as for private equity backed and entrepreneurial led businesses. I am also a partner, advisor, and board member in several different companies.
I am enthusiastic about driving ideas into implementation and generating value through a consumer and customer-centric approach. I am described as a passionate leader, and I believe that the most impactful performance is always gained by inspiring, supporting, and empowering people to deliver their best.
I have my roots in Finland, but I now consider the Czech Republic my home, where I live in Prague with my Czech-Canadian-Finnish family. Beyond business, my other interests include food and wine, traveling, American football, tennis, and sports with the family.
