      • Jan 2018 - Jan 2021

      Executive Producer of sports and live in VOD Services in Ruutu and Nelonen Media TV Channels.Ruutu is the home of most of the team sports leagues in Finland, for example Finnish Football League (Veikkausliiga), Finnish Baseball League (Superpesis), Finnish Volleyball League (Lentopallon Mestaruussarja), Finnish Floorball League (F-liiga) and Finnish 1st Division of Hockey (Mestis). Ruutu is also broadcasting top level Football and Basketball with Serie A and NBA. I was also one of the executive producers when setting up one of the most interesting projects with live music during ”the corona spring” when Ruutu produced live concert streams from the rehearsal rooms of the bands and artists.Being an Executive Producer contains planning and building the production from whole seasons to small as well as larger events, managing the given budget, informing marketing and sales about the production, constant communication with our production partners (both Finnish and International) and consulting our Acquisitions team about acquisition of new leagues and events.I believe that one of the most important thing with Sports Production is good relationship with the Sports Associations and the Clubs and that’s why I hold maintaining the relations with them one of the key stones in work.All in all the new season is always a new project and being an Executive Producer is managing the new project. And no project is like another. Show less

      On September 2016 i was assigned new responsibilities. In addition to my role as a Sports Program Planner I started as a producer with Finnish Football League (Veikkausliiga) and content planner for also Ruutu’s Movies and Reality TV.As a producer I was in charge of the live broadcasts which were broadcasted on FTA Channels Nelonen and Jim. Those broadcasts were called ”Futiskierros” and the concept was to follow all the games from that day. The broadcast contained live studio which was done in collaboration with Ilta-Sanomat.As a Content Planner for VOD I planned the publishing schedule for Ruutu’s movies (at least one per week) and Ruutu’s reality series. This was made in collaboration with Nelonen Media Programming scheduling team and B2C and B2B teams. The programs I worked with were E.g. Masterchef Australia and Paradise Hotel (Norway and Sweden).
