UPM-Kymmene Corporation is a finnish forest industry company.

Finnish Information Security power with two amazing daughters!"It's all about the People". It all comes down to the actual person at the end. Partnering organizations and technology are mere enablers for the people to excel but without the people organizations and technology are useless. Competence development and coaching programs help but the true learning can only happen if there's a craving for it. "IT is easier than ever for users but harder than ever under the hood"Mitigating risks of all kinds of systems (500+), organizations (20.000+ people) and projects (15+) for more than 10 years now. Leading small to medium sized subject matter expert teams (5-30 people) to better results (see recommendations). Experienced in working in the service management for the process industry and considering IT change processes for paper mills. Emerging challenge there is the lack of maturity in harmonized IT maintenance. Global sales, global production and global functions force into an international ecosystem of laws, regulation, competition and risks. Strategic and tactical levels are home ground but not afraid to get hands dirty in operational tasks either. Strengths according to colleagues: Faces new situations with Confidence, Honest and Straight up guy, Analytical Mindset, Technical Understanding, Energy, Never Backs Down, Logical Reasoning, Making questions, Bringing in new ideas and Stand-out character - "A Lion"(thanks for the feedback - keep it coming)Specialties: Information Security management (CISSP), Cyber Forensics (CCFP), Ethical Hacking (CEH), Security Architecture (TOGAF 9 Foundation), IT Compliance Management & Auditing (CISA)
