Siuntio
"Siuntio a safety place for a good life "
A good municipality is first and foremost measured by the wellbeing of its residents. It is a community where everyone feels safe and has access to necessary services locally.
Everyone should also have a chance to engage in stimulating spare-time activities and to enjoy nature close to where we live.
I have been active in many positions of trust in Siuntio municipality as well as during the last three years within Länsi-Uudenmaan hyvinvointialue.
My working career is a combination of different work assignments within public administration in my home community Siuntio as well as the Defence Forces and on the private sector in global companies such as L M Ericsson and Hackman (Fiskars today).
The last nine years I’ve worked as an entrepreneur.
