train_your_unicorn

Seven years as hired CEO and CBDO. Now building my own projects. Fresh eyes for beginners — and for people who already know the map but want a sharper reading of the terrain.

You know, sometimes all you need is 20 seconds of insane courage, just literally 20 seconds of embarrassing bravery, and I promise you something great will come of it.

— Benjamin Mee, We Bought a Zoo

What I'm made of

Engineer language, on purpose. A composition list — not a polished bio essay.

  1. Civil engineer

    MS in Civil Engineering and real estate management. Designed hospitals and perinatal centers — structure, systems, and stakes that matter.

  2. Another education

    An attempt at pedagogy and English philology — begun, not finished; still part of the wiring.

  3. Block-scheme mind

    I think in flowcharts. First book at five: an encyclopedia of cybernetics. There I saw block schemes and understood: this is how I think.

  4. Speed

    Very fast reading — an edge when dropping into any product or grant brief.

  5. Languages

    Love of foreign languages and everything around them: tone, nuance, the keys to communication.

  6. People

    Diversity — and the craft of finding the keys to communication across difference.

  7. How I move

    Lightness and awareness. I have already made money from anger and from the need to prove a point — enough. Now I follow only an inner yes.

  8. Right now

    Quantum physics.

How we can work

Two ways in — the full map if you’re just starting, a sharp outside read if you already know the terrain.

From idea to ship

For first-timers: lean canvas, customer interviews, pitches for clients and investors, then build, team, and support — the full arc from idea to something that runs.

Brainstorm

For people who already know the game. A working session with clean eyes on what you’ve got — scars from CEO and CBDO roles across SaaS, deeptech, and edtech.

Vibe coding

Help shipping the product you are already shaping: structure, pace, and a builder who can sit in the mess with you.

Grants support

Analytical, sequential thinking for Finnish and European grant processes — wins on the record, curiosity for yours.

Network

Years in corporate roles and seven years in startups have built a broad network across sales, HR, finance, and beyond. Ask me if you need the right person.

Calendar

Tap a day to see what is on. Startup gatherings, talks, and moments worth showing up for.

Select a day with a mark to see events.

Grant thinking

Wins across Finnish and European grant programs. Not magic — analytical sequencing, fast reading, and the habit of understanding a product before writing about it.

I move through briefs quickly, map the logic, and write with the same block-scheme clarity I bring to products. That is the advantage: see the system, then argue it cleanly.

If you are preparing a grant — or stuck mid-way — a brainstorm session is often the shortest path to an honest next step.
