About
I spent the last 10 years as a Board Director and C-Suite Officer for B2B, B2C and consulting companies in Asia and Europe. During my career have founded 4 companies in the tech, law, engineering and sustainability industries. These were incorporated in HK, Vietnam, the Philippines, Finland, Spain and the UK.
Led and negotiated multi-million dollar equity and token investment rounds with VCs for my own companies and clients. Designed cap tables and token distribution sheets for equity and token sales. Led several successful multi-million euro grant applications with EU Horizon 2020.
Managed a team of 120 persons spread across Asia for a top 5 global engineering firm to deliver a USD 400M expressway and bridge design. Grew two start-ups to more than 20 people.
I was interviewed on Bloomberg TV about PPP infrastructure projects in Asia and presented at WEF in 2020 on a fisheries & blockchain sustainability panel. Panelist at a Tech / Sustainability focused Google event in their HQ in Palo Alto. Subsequently participated in several investment discussions with Google for one of my start-ups. Former host of TX Tomorrow Explored podcast show, which reached the top 10 on apple podcasts in Finland.
I´ve led consulting sales teams in tech, infrastructure and sustainability industries. Designed sales strategies and led competitive bids valued at up to USD 500M in the infrastructure industry. While in the tech industry, led B2B partnerships teams on deals for major global enterprises such as HP, Nokia and Continential.
I was a senior advisor to several major global enterprises, including HSBC Bank, Maybank, Dutch and UK Governments, Bloomberg Philanthropies, Rockefeller Foundation, and World Bank.
I love everything about business; it has been my passion since I was 15 years old.
