About me

Combining a Bachelor’s in Hospitality Management and boat-building training with 10+ years in Åland restaurant management, I now lead Under Ytan Ab in regenerative marine restoration via macroalgae. My expertise is enriched by leadership roles, Chairman of Finnish Nature & Environment, municipal council politician, and a passion for continuous self-study in sustainability and meditation. Recreationally, I enjoy sailing and free diving.
