I'm experienced in designing products that work and scale efficiently across platforms. I like to seed design thinking and product-lead growth in organizations, regardless of their size. In 2018 I founded Collective with a mission to redefine the way businesses-of-one work. Collective is backed by General Catalyst, Google's Gradient Ventures, QED, Expa, Ashton Kutcher and more. In 2015 I joined the YC startup MBX ($200M in funding) as VP of Product Design. I built and lead a team that designed an end-to-end beauty and e-commerce experience. In 2013 I came to the US to help building Udemy (NASDAQ:UDMY), now a public and one of the largest online education platforms with more than 40 million students around the world. In 2010 I was the Head of Android Business at Elisa (HEL: ELISA), one of the largest public telecom operators in Finland. During my management, Elisa took over the largest Android market share and pioneered a local mobile ecosystem. I’ve done notable product and design work at Google Express and Angry Birds, and was listed amo
