Charles and Ray Eames. Husband and wife—they were so in love with each other and their work, and they inspired a generation of mid-century modern designers and architects. I could read books about their work and watch their complete collection of short films (6 DVD box set) over and over and over again. I would love interview then for our audience so we can together learn about the simple things that inspired them to create a world that is both beautiful and functional.

Tough question but here are 7 possibilities:

2. If you could invite anyone to present with you on stage who would it be? (dead or alive)
Without any doubt – David Bowie. Because his career has always been about change – changing himself visually, his music – making the most of what was up and coming, and finally changing others and making a huge influence on pop culture of the last 30 years.

3. Can’t travel without
Books, Music / Podcasts and my iPad mini (which may contain the aforementioned elements) and my family if it’s not a business related trip.

5. Attended we.CONECT events
Intra.NET Reloaded London 2015, Berlin 2016 & 2017

1. Where will you be on your next day off?
I travel for work on a weekly basis, so most likely (and hopefully) I will be at home reading a nice book at my terrace or cooking for my friends while drinking a nice glass of wine.

2. If you could invite anyone to present with you on stage who would it be? (dead or alive)
I would love to present together with Angela Merkel. I think we could find a powerful but humble approach to our presentation and add some dry Finnish and German humour to it. And of course she is just one of the coolest persons on this planet.

3. Can’t travel without
I hope I could say something cooler but the truth is that I can’t travel or go anywhere without my phone that contains my podcasts, reading (kindle), social media, calendar, email, pictures etc. and of course it makes it possible to connect with my loved ones. I also carry around woollen socks knitted by my mum. They come in handy in cold hotel rooms and long plane trips. And remind me of her.

4. Favorite thing to steal from a hotel room
I rarely use the hotel products as I have all mini size travel products ready to go for my weekly trips. And of course I don’t steal!
