Fast forward: I’m a:

- Fortune 500 growth consultant

How? 

By embracing the fear and showing up anyway.

If I can do it, so can you.

Kampanjapelle

Gamification, metaverse, and ever changing humans - that's what the future brings to your business. There is no longer time to stay aligned with competitors - become the star, dare to test new approaches and benefit tremendously before others discover it.

#kampanjapelle helps your business find and test new opportunities that will not break your marketing and other plans - it's like a syringe to insert a flavour to doughnuts = only make it better, juicier, more enjoyable.

CEO | Founder

Free-time career

As of very young age, I have worked as a referee in ice-hockey (9 seasons, both linesman and referee) and floorball (15 years). This tasks includes leading and managing many types of "stakeholders" at the same time. While the general expectation from referees may just consist of making quick decisions under high pressure, the real scope of tasks goes well beyond that. 
As a referee I have been consistently learning how to communicate with many various types of personalities, how to sell (promote and justify) own decisions and how to be responsible not only to the approx. 20-40 direct participants (players, coaches), but also to the audience, to whom it requires a trustworthy and confident self-presentation. 
It is obvious that the quality and precision of decision, which all have to be made in almost no time, impact other aspects significantly. The audience I have experienced has counted from few dozens to several thousands of spectators. This always brings a strong commitment towards the performance as the referee work supports the whole product delivery.

Throughout the long-lasting experience, I have taken part in games under the following organisations:
- Czech Ice Hockey (formerly Czech Ice Hockey Association)
- Czech Floorball (formerly Czech Floorball Union)
- Finnish Floorball Federation
- Finnish Ice Hockey Association
- Swedish Ice Hockey Association

Main learnings and skills development:
- quick decision making (with high level of precision)
- work under high pressure
- self-presentation
- leading and communication with various types of personalities
- direct responsibility for decisions in front of hundreds/thousands of people

Free-time career 

If interested in getting help or industry opinion, please reach out and we can check availability.

I've been helping people arranging their travel, ranging from basic ticket booking advisory to overall value optimisation and experience advancement. Those categories are described more in detail below. 
In general, I believe in smart travel, which often faces old-fashioned company travel policy. Passenger rights should be enforced and airlines should stop misleading customers. That's another topic I've addressed many times when supporting others on their journey.

Ticket booking advisory:
- route search and optimisation
- ticket rules review
- point of sale selection

Value optimisation:
- miles earnings
- frequent flyer program selection
- personal / business travel policy review

Experience advancement:
- airport and inflight comfort
- best value of miles spent
- airline comparison

Business Partner

Adact

I was helping Adact build brand presence mainly on Finnish market, with opening new contacts in Australia and other countries globally.
Besides building long-term focused relationship based sales approach, I was also identifying partnership opportunities to improve growth potential.

I continue offering Adact through my new activities.

While helping Adact move forward, it's even more important to help your business develop - try gamification and make it a regular tool for standing out on the market. Let's make the step together.

Internally I'm also supporting Adact's marketing and new markets discovery.

Chief Business Development Officer

Adact helps you create interactive marketing campaigns within minutes and without a single line of code.
It's a great tool for consumer engagement, lead generation, discovering segments, and of course conversion. You can also use Adact in HR for internal company rewards and training. 

One license, lots of opportunities.

I started helping Adact establish presence on the Nordics market and beyond - mainly because I was sold on the solution the day I saw it for the first time back in February 2020.
Feel free to reach out if you want to discuss gamification in your company. I'll happily share my excitement and help you through my current business!

Nordics Lead

Northern Grips

Everybody deserves to wear their favourite shoes in winter. No matter is it in private life or at work. Safety, style, and comfort should work together when considering slip-and-fall prevention accessories. We have been delivering solutions for flat-soled shoes (Helsinki Grip) as well as for other types of shoes (MiniGrips). Our special glue has been one of the most powerful on the market.

If employee safety is important to you, reach out to discuss. I'm still actively serving Northern Grips needs and will be happy to help you. Retailers welcome.
Looking for a unique marketing item for your campaign? The solution is here.

Co-Founder | COO

Aalto University

Business development of CEAMA - AI / AR solution for final assembly and maintenance - in a TUTL (research commercialisation) project which is funded by Business Finland and is due in January 2020. My tasks have included business model development, market analysis (available and obtainable market size, future estimations and both present and future competitor situation) and IPR portfolio development support (mainly patent research).

My main goal during the project has been to provide suggestions out of the obvious and to encourage others to try to innovate not only on the side of technology, but also in terms of the actual business execution. For that, I have taken additional online courses related to business development and read many articles reflecting various approaches, success and failure stories and trends on the market.

I have also taken part at many big international events and workshops to stay updated on market trends, discuss with potential future partner companies and co-develop cooperation between start-ups and big companies (e.g., World Summit AI, Global Industrie, Techfestival). 

In addition to that, I have also participated on the project website building and worked as a secretary during the Steering Committee meetings, which has allowed me to learn perspectives of senior people from big industrial companies.

Main learnings and skills development:
- working in senior environment
- roles of personalities in team operations
- importance of agile approach in (not only) small teams
- academia vs. industry differences
- IPR related research
- new business area discovery (contact with cutting-edge technologies)

New Business Developer

Erasmus For Young Entrepreneurs

Cooperation with Mr.Jarmo Perttilä, the owner of Arena Center Oy, on preparations and development of his new business idea. Focus on product development, logistics and marketing tasks.

As an applicant, I had gone through a thorough selection process, incl. own idea business plan submission.

Main learnings and skills development:
- cooperation with a very senior entrepreneur
- negotiation
- small team work
- goal accomplishment (from business plan writing to a great cooperation)

Hello, I have lived in the Helsinki Area for over 7 years and currently working on my next big challenge - helping businesses stand out on the market by taking brave actions, such as trying out gamification.

At the age of 32, I can offer knowledge from over 8-year business related and over 15-year sports related experience at roles from first line worker to an entrepreneur (incl. successful B2B negotiations and partnerships building). I am used to being responsible for own work, as well as to people responsible for mine. I have led, organised and supported development of people, ranging from individuals to groups up to approx. 100 persons.

Aalto Kauppis Alumni - MSc. in Entrepreneurship and Innovation Management

My business expertise besides applying gamification and obtained also through excellent study results, can be sampled from the following tasks I consider my main strengths:
+ developing business plans, strategies and analyses
+ leading successful business negotiations
+ taking care of customer success and satisfaction

Being involved at various roles in sports (referee, coach, supervisor and mentor), it has become a weekly routine over the past 15 years to be facing situations supporting and developing following skills:
+ decision making
+ self-presentation and decision justification to audience ranging from individuals to thousands of people
+ leading various types of personalities in dynamic environment

While the following are my hobbies and additional interests, they do also support my profile:
+ extensive 9-year expertise in travel industry (frequent flyer programs, miles and points, trip planning)
+ minor investments
+ learning from failures (ask for stories!)

All in all, it is important for me to develop creative ideas and face new challenges. In any team, I want to understand all the members and support everyone's growth. It's the best way to secure a healthy growth of the whole company.

PS: I don't speak Japanese, but I can help you get on the Japanese market or just get your pitch deck ready for Japanese investors.
