I am an independent intellectual property professional with more than 20 years of experience helping businesses understand, protect and manage intellectual property in practical ways.

My background includes experience from the Finnish Patent Office, the European Patent Office, private IP practice, industry, startups and international IP environments. Over the years, I have worked with organisations of different sizes, technologies and business models, helping them navigate intellectual property in a way that supports real business objectives.

I believe intellectual property is most valuable when it is understood as a business tool rather than a legal formality. Whether the focus is on patents, trademarks, know-how, software or innovation, my goal is to help businesses make informed decisions and create long-term value from what makes them unique.

Because I work independently, clients work directly with me. This allows for clear communication, practical advice and a deep understanding of each organisation’s specific situation and goals.

At the same time, I believe successful businesses are built around people. Behind every product, service, technology and brand are individuals whose expertise, creativity and commitment make growth possible.

As technology and artificial intelligence continue to transform the way we work, the human side of business becomes increasingly important: trust, collaboration, adaptability and the ability to see opportunities from different perspectives.

Human to human, with respect. Because people remain at the heart of every successful business.
