A Warm Welcome to My World of Global Strategy, Innovation, and Resilience!
“If a person cannot organize their thoughts, their attention drifts to what is most troubling and disruptive at the moment.” – M. Csikszentmihalyi
In over two decades of working in and leading industrial enterprises, one key lesson stands out: resilience and mindset are essential drivers of growth and innovation. They shape how people and organizations perceive, process information, make decisions, and create breakthroughs. Too often, teams get lost in the details, while entrepreneurs lose sight of the big picture. While mindset may not be everything, it plays a crucial role in fostering a broader understanding of the mechanisms that lead to faster, better decisions, strategies and collaborative implementation.
As an expert in economics, international business, and global value chains, I have spent over 25 years at the forefront of strategic innovation and business transformation. My work spans industries, continents, and cultures, guiding organizations to unlock their potential in competitive, ever-evolving markets. Leaders and decision-makers rely on my ability to bring clarity to complexity, craft actionable strategies, and provide a visionary perspective that drives results internationally.
Educated in Estonia and Italy, I earned a cum laude master’s degree in Economics and Strategic Management from the University of Tartu. Since 2023, I am a doctoral researcher at the Estonian Business School, focusing on global value chains, networks and innovation. Fluent in 11 languages and having lived and worked in Germany, Italy, and England, I bring a comprehensive global perspective and a proven ability to bridge cultural and strategic divides.
My career as an expert and world’s top athlete is defined by resilience, strategic insight, and an unwavering commitment to excellence, I have successfully launched and scaled businesses across Europe, the USA, South-Korea and the Southeast Asia. My achievements include expanding a German-backed wood industry company to 14 international markets, founding a cutting-edge metal industry enterprise, transforming a textile plant in Germany and leading the creation of the globally recognized KODA by Kodasema housing brand through innovative, sustainable business models. As a mentor and advisor I have supported growth, learning and transformation in hundreds of firms.
Calm, focused, and passionate, we explore how strategic thinking, practical solutions, and a big-picture perspective can turn challenges into opportunities. I value an approach that emphasizes building deep relationships, honing intuitive communication and networking skills, and nurturing alliances that foster meaningful, sustainable growth.
With main interests in strategy, export development, international relations, value chains, and innovation, my expertise extends to navigating cultural differences and overcoming complex, dynamic challenges. Guided by values of efficiency, emotional intelligence, and world-class quality, I work to help shape resilient, forward-thinking organizations that thrive in a constantly evolving global landscape.
