I am a Technology & Digital Executive, Speaker and Advisor.
I help organisations connect technology decisions with business performance, resilience and sustainable growth.
I am an enterprise technology executive currently serving as Interim SVP, IT (CIO) at Fortum, where I focus on strategic priorities, operational efficiency, security and sustainability through digital technologies.
Alongside my executive role, I advise organisations and senior leaders on technology strategy, digital transformation, cloud and cybersecurity. My advisory work spans CIO, CTO and CISO perspectives, helping leadership teams navigate complex technology decisions, evolve operating models and align technology investments with business priorities.
Based in Helsinki, I bring a strong background in cybersecurity, digital development and cloud architecture. I bridge technical execution with board-level business objectives, helping organisations use technology as a differentiator for profitability and scale while strengthening digital resilience and creating sustainable business value.
