Okay I have to admit that I was for years against starting this - starting a blog and start writing my ideas, thoughts and experiences. But now that I have time privilege... well why not.

I have experienced many industries and companies either in a sales, marketing, business development or business manager role. I have been involved in many international businesses, lived in Asia as an expatriate but done also very domestic business in my home country Finland.

Last five years I have been in ICT sector earlier to this in management consulting and my career started in energy business. Currently I am in the cross-roads of my career "what to do next with my interesting blend" so I spend my days considering alternatives, advising interested start-up companies and now as latest writing this blog.

I am not a writer. I think with graphs, pictures and numbers. So let's see how this works. I plan to write topics around international expansion (should be useful to all start-ups and growth companies), similarities in different businesses (normally people want to highlight how different those are), marketing ideas and practices (with customer being in the center not products), innovation management (not from R&D perspective but commercialization) and sales (practices and domestic/international differences)

You as a valued reader - just hop in and give your thoughts... agree, disagree, share your ideas and give your votes

  1. ICT is an acronyme...

  2. Good to see others having and/or having had very same ponderings as I have.

    I find it a fascinating question to begin with that why do people have the feeling of being against sharing their experiences (which blogging really is in all simplicity)?

    Now, this may seem "off-topic" or whatever but I think that it's not just a fascinating but also an important issue on a deeper level. And by itself answers many questions .. If examined well.

    Anyways, I look forward to your posts and the "I'm not a writer" writings (as I feel very much the same way about myself) and congratulations of overcoming your years of being against starting this (as I feel somewhat the same way about that with my own blogging, too :)
