Financial Fasttrack (tm)

• Global

• Mentor

  • Jan 2018 - Present

  At 47, after 12 years of focused effort, I became financially free: from a financial perspective it is my own decision if I choose to work or not. Since then, several have asked for advice how to become financially stable, speed up their investment strategies or become financially free. Thanks to positive feedback Financial Fasttrack (tm) was formed. There are already very many advisers out there (books, seminars, trainings, mentorships...). There are of course also many kinds of advisers and brokers regarding financial services and products. FF does not give direct financial advice or sell specific products. Instead, we want to be a transparent and reliable mentor for persons who want to effectively navigate the broad and sometimes intimidating field of personal finance. Depending on where you are right now and what you are looking for we help you get initial orientation, set goals, get started, find appropriate advise, build and manage your team of experts, support taking action and manage risk. In short, our mission is help individuals build stronger financial self-reliability and in the process a society with financially stronger members.

Jakobstads Sinfonietta

• Jakobstad, Finland

• Indendent (General Manager)

  • Jan 2011 - Jul 2012

  I grew up in Jakobstad. In 2009 the orchestra I first played in as a kid was professionalised for a project period of 3 years. The ensemble ran into serious leadership (and as it later turned out: financial) problems in 2010 and decided to look for a new Intendant as of 1.1.2011. Joining the team for 19 months, we created a clear strategy, developed a fantastic team with high standards, re-established financial control, increased funding with 50% and started a very appreciated concert series. It was a fantastic experience to reconnect with Jakobstad and very gratifying to be part of the development of Jakobstads Sinfonietta.
