I am an entrepreneur and have a MSc in Economics. I’ve worked with marketing, direct mail and product development, lately also with publishing. I am used to taking responsibility and organizing.
I’m aiming at better services in the whole city and the county. Education, healthcare, well-being. I want especially to support entrepreneurs and companies and want to develop the services for them.
I have an international background, worked abroad for seven years (USA and Germany), speak six languages and understand what it’s like to settle in a new country.
I want to help you succeed and feel at home in Espoo!
I am married and have four children. I enjoy being in the nature, hiking, sailing, swimming or just strolling around.
