I am a founding partner of Korona Invest Oy. I have been in the industry since 1995, and have served as CEO of Korona since September 2006, raising three private equity funds. Before founding Korona Invest, I worked at Sitra in various directorial positions in e.g. seed financing, privatization of regional funds, and Sitra’s Health Care Programme. In 1995–1998, I served as CEO of Culminatum Oy, managing Spinno-seed Oy (a Finnish venture capital fund). Prior to this, I worked at Haka Oy as director of development. I hold M.Sc., Lic.Sc. (Tech), and MBA qualifications from Helsinki University of Technology, as well as an eMBA in management of social and health services from the University of Tampere.

I have worked in the financial sector since 1999. For the first years, I had the chance to be part of a small private equity company, where I got my first experiences in the industry. In 2002, I moved to Sitra, where I became acquainted with the various stages of private equity investments and was involved in a number of domestic and international corporate and social projects. As a co-founding partner at Korona, I have been managing many of our portfolio companies during the past twelve years, including growth stories like Roima Intelligence, MilaPro, Sähkötaso Esitystekniikka, Hoitokoti Päiväkumpu, Vetrea Terveys, Evantia and Validia. It has been great to be able to create success stories together with great personalities and professionals in various fields. I have completed an MBA and an EMBA, and I am a qualified authorized board member (HHJ).

I joined Korona Invest as a partner in October 2016. Previously, I have worked in leading audit firms for more than ten years. In addition, I have worked as the CFO of Panostaja and Solteq. I have over ten years of experience of providing advisory services for acquisitions and extensive experience serving on various company boards. Currently, I serve as chairman of the board for SNT-Group Oy and as a board member at Revenio Oyj. I have completed a master's degree in economics, and I am an authorised public accountant.  

I joined Korona Invest in the spring of 2009. Prior to joining Korona I have worked, e.g. at Finnish Industry Investment Ltd in the venture capital and private equity investments team, and at eQ's stockbroking back office team. As Korona's CFO, my duties vary greatly and include financial administration, investor reporting, and compliance functions. I have graduated as a BBA from Espoonlahti Business College.  

I joined the Korona Invest team in July 2015. Previously, I have worked in varied roles in growth companies and gained experience of management reporting, strategy work and business development. At Korona, I am responsible for assessing new investment opportunities, and I participate in the development of the current portfolio companies through e.g. business monitoring, M&A, and financing arrangements. I have an M.Sc. in finance from Aalto University School of Business. During my free time, I like to challenge myself with ultrarunning and long-distance cross-country skiing events.

I joined Korona Invest in fall 2019. Before Korona I worked four years at Finnish Industry Investment (Tesi) as an Investment Manager focusing on direct growth and industrial investments. At Tesi I was responsible of 50-million-euro Circular Economy investment program, deal sourcing and execution, as well as portfolio company development. I made new investments in GRK, Endev, Viria and Mustavaaran Kaivos, and several follow-on investments in existing portfolio companies. I held a Board Observer seat in GRK and Keliber. Before Tesi I worked over three years in investment banking and M&A advisory at Summa Capital and Pohjola Corporate Finance. I hold M.Sc. in finance from Aalto University School of Business. During spare time you might find me sailing or motorcycling, or from gym or cross-country skiing tracks.

I joined the Korona Invest team in 2017. I evaluate potential investments and participate in the development of portfolio companies. In the past, I have worked in the United States as the financial manager of a Finnish technology company, and at Nordea Markets. I graduated with a master of economic sciences degree from Hanken School of Economics.
