My career spans public company marketing, ministerial internships and interim CEO roles. My varied background often raises questions about what I am pursuing and which box I fall into. Short answer: I'm the guy who gets projects done, processes running and teams happy. Below are the answers to those longer questions.
I am looking for permanent salaried position. While looking for a job, I work as a light entrepreneur on selected projects when they support my professional development.
To be able to lead an entity later on, I need to understand the day-to-day substance and culture of the organisation from the bottom up. I'm willing to roll up my sleeves and do hands-on work if the organization's direction is right. My goal is to progress to a more responsible position within 3-5 years, for example as a team lead or in a Nordic level position.
No. I only get bored if things stand still. There is no such thing as too small a task for me, but I tend to see how those little streams make a big river. I bring seniority with me, which saves you time and money because I don't need hand holding. However, I need to see a path to a more responsible position within 3-5 years.
I've worked a lot in projects and interim roles, which are meant to be temporary transitions. My career has been affected by the corona era and the recession. Now I am specifically looking for that 'haven' to anchor myself and see the long-term impact of my work.
I've seen bankruptcies and crises, so petty pressure doesn't sway. I prioritise fiercely, communicate openly and keep a sense of humour, even when deadlines bang. Panic has never helped any project reach the finish line.
This is a great pair to work with. I use AI for sparring, analyzing data and streamlining routines. It doesn't replace humans, but it frees me to do the things that require empathy and a strategic eye.
Not at all. It's about risk management and future competitiveness of a company. If a company doesn't have its values and reporting in place, it will sooner or later lose both its best employees and its customers.
Yes, for the right role, I'm ready to move. But in the modern world, many of these jobs can be done perfectly well from the north, combined with a few days of travel.
I am an operational all-rounder. My strengths include an understanding of interaction, communication and culture. I lead with a people-oriented approach to eliminate friction and waste. Whether it's an ERP deployment or a regional development project, my role is to ensure that goals turn into results and people stay sane along the way.
I have managed a remote-first 15-person organization and I have seen effective work, culture, trust and relationships in that environment as well. I have worked in a hybrid organization where I felt an outsider feeling while working 600km away from the office. The most important thing for me is that the employer has a clear business-oriented policy on this. Onsite position is OK if the location is Oulu, or if the role is right I can also move for the job. I like people, and prefer to work in an office or coworking. A few travel days a month is fine. I'm also happy to go offsite for a week or two.
I am most familiar with selling peoples time, or professional services. I have managed people in positions of trust, in an assistant service and in a marketing agency. I have sold virtual assistants, outsourced customer service, marketing services, sales support services, financial management, AC cleaning services... Yes, all kinds of services. I can manage, buy, sell and sometimes even produce them. Staffing services and all kinds of flexible resourcing is my speciality.
