Klaus Kääriäinen

I've been working in technology companies since 2008, mostly within game industry. During my career I've had the privilege to work on multiple different fields, such as. Chief operating officer, lead designer, project manager, producer, artist and more.

I've also run my own startup company (three times)

This wide area of expertise has enabled me to see the whole process of making different products and releasing those for big masses of users.

I've always been passionate about helping others succeed in their work. My strength lies in 'clearing the path' for experts, allowing them to focus on what they do best.

Whether it's engaging with clients or collaborating with team members, my goal is to find the best solutions for everyone involved.

Having years of experience as an educator, I take pleasure in sharing my thoughts and visions with anyone, anytime.

When I'm off-duty, I value quality time with my family and enjoy leisurely walks in national parks and off-the-beaten-path routes. I'm also a big fan of movies and competitive online games
