In late 2011 I co-founded a company called Nordcloud, which became over the years the fastest growing company in Finland (Deloitte Finland 50 in 2016 & 2017) and one of the fastest growing company in Europe (Deloitte EMEA 500 in 2016 & 2017). Nordcloud is listed to Gartner Cloud MSP Quadrant (in 2017 - 2019). Nordcloud has today 10 country offices and over 500 employees.
In early 2019 I established an own investment company called Esa Investment, which is primarily my personal investment vehicle in startups, real estates and equity funds. Currently I’m consulting a few startups in their strategy creation process and finance raising project.
