About me

I'm a technology and business professional with a strong background in IoT, mobile technology, and R&D. After years of experience in product development and communication technologies at companies like Nokia and Microsoft, I have focused on driving innovation and digital transformation in various industries.

I was the CEO and co-founder of Soficta Oy, a startup specializing in IoT solutions for the energy sector. At Soficta, we developed Aistio, an advanced remote monitoring system for district heating wells. Our solution gained international traction in Sweden, Switzerland, and the Baltics, helping optimize energy infrastructure and prevent failures. The innovation was recognized with a €200,000 innovation award at the Lithuanian Intelligent Energy Lab Hackathon.

Leading a startup from early-stage development to international expansion gave me deep insights into entrepreneurship, product-market fit, and scaling a business. In 2023, we successfully exited the company when Soficta was acquired by Mitta Oy, strengthening their digital monitoring services.

Currently, I work as Sales Manager at SADE Innovations Oy, where I help businesses accelerate their R&D processes with cost-effective and superfast solutions. My passion lies in bringing cutting-edge technology to industries, optimizing processes, and driving sustainable growth through innovation.
