My Story in Detail

Project Management

Teknologföreningen Head of Real Estate Development

Led two major Real Estate projects: one 25M€+ Recreational Center and 180+ apartment housing complex, raising 4M€+ in total funding.

"I swam with the sharks. For any of you who have worked in real estate, you know exactly what I'm talking about."
"Together with them, I learned the essentials of fundraising, fundraising strategy, and eventually we ended up raising 4 million plus for the project."
"So if you have a major project that needs coordination, I know how that's done."
Academic Excellence

Teaching Mathematics at Aalto University

"For four years, I taught the best and the brightest here in Aalto University Mathematics, the best from Finland, but also very talented students from abroad."
"I love teaching things, not just mathematics, but also if there's something that someone's not getting, I'll explain it to them a hundred different ways until they eventually get it."
"I don't leave questions unanswered. If there's something that is asked, I will find the answer."
NGO Leadership

My Journey in Ambitious Africa

"Ambitious Africa, a youth NGO developing youth economic cooperation between Finland and the African continent, was on the verge of bankruptcy back in 2021 I was called in, taking over the fund-raising."
"Among other things, we got recognition from the European Union, as well as global recognition by winning The King Hamad Youth Empowerment Award for the SDGs, being one of the few select winners from over 8000 applicants."
"Fundraising is a hell of a mess, but if you need any help, I'm here for you."
Research & Analysis

Master Thesis and Publication

"We researched this question and it was a very lengthy process. We started off applying for the research data from Aalto University. Then we took the data, we analyzed it every which way, every way imaginable we could think of, and finally we wrote the thesis and wrote the research paper."
"If you yourself are currently stuck writing a research paper, I'll be more than happy to help you out."

Bonus Insights

Personal philosophy and approach that drives everything I do

Personal Philosophy

Chess & My All-In Approach

"I'm the guy that goes all in, in a project. Doesn't matter what anyone else says. I absolutely hate half-assing things."
"With projects as with chess, I go all in. There are literally no limits. If there's something that needs to be done, it will get done one way or another."
Professional Development

Networking & Relationship Building

"I fearlessly went and met new people in different settings, both kind of warm approaches, people that other people already knew, but also if I saw someone interesting, I just approached him and magical things happen."
"I met new friends. I met mentors. I got dates, I got business partners, you know, people who I didn't know and who didn't know me."
