Lifelong learning<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I graduated from the Helsinki University of Technology, currently known as Aalto university, back at 2001. Although my history of labour dates back to 1988 when I received my first official salary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I began my career as an engineer responsible for designing maritime fairways e.g. roads for ships and I was part of the Vuosaari harbour design team. Virtual presentation models were a new thing and pretty soon I was headhunted into an ITC company where my duties were first at the technical sales support and later as a project manager for serving public and private sector companies in different IT projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I got a bit fed up of cleaning other people’s mess in my work and started post-graduate studies and working as a researcher at the Technical Reserch Center of Finland. But then I was headhunted again, into the ITC business (again) and I moved to Norway to work and live there. I worked as a senior project manager and as a product manager. I was quite deep in the R&D as well and had two teams of brilliant if sometimes absent minded developers in Bangkok and Hanoi. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the end of the first decade of the millenium family moved to Kuopio and I commuted between Finland, South-East Asia and northern Europe where the company I was working set up subsidiaries and I was responsible for the business development. At the same time I began business studies in the University of Eastern Finland. I felt I need to know more about business management, financing, accounting and economics, legal issues and so on. During all this I was also part time working in a family business for over 15 years, in trade and commerce business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2010 I set up my own company and ever since I have been an entrepreneur. This move wasn’t good for the business studies where I have 150 credits and started the bachelor thesis but that project got derailed and is still on the table. Couple of years ago I was asked to became a partner in a concultancy company and did so. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the end of last decade I saw an ad about a Master’s program in the field of service business (to be exact, hospitality managemend) at the Savonia UAS. I thought change from technology, engineering and economics field of working would be great and managed to sneak in to the program. Then again I was kind of headhunted when I began working as a concultant in a major tourist attraction spot. And again the work meant ill for studies. I have to say that having multiple businesses on the go is sometimes frustrating. Now I have made time in my calendar to complete the studies in Savonia and I look positively into the future where I might be able to enroll back to UEF to finish what I started there as well. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
