About

Building a better world – one project, one solution, one bumblebee at a time. 🐝 I have over 10 years of diverse experience in entrepreneurship, agricultural projects, and hands-on work in shipbuilding, construction, and maintenance. I’ve been involved in the construction of seven vessels and the repair of more than sixty others – in addition to working in property maintenance, sales, and service roles. This background has taught me practical problem-solving, teamwork, and responsibility – skills I now apply to advancing sustainability and biodiversity. I’m currently seeking new opportunities as an Operations Coordinator, Production Supervisor, or Project Manager, where I can combine my technical know-how, project management experience, and passion for the environment. 🟢 Mission: To contribute to real solutions that slow down climate change and protect biodiversity. 🟢 Approach: I always see things through – and if I don’t know something yet, I learn it fast. 🟢 Personal Brand: Mr. Bumblebee – an advocate for pollinators’ well-being who believes in actions, not just words. #ProjectManagement #OperationsManagement #Sustainability #Biodiversity #PollinationExpert #EnvironmentalProjects #Construction #Maintenance #ProblemSolving #HandsOnDevelopment #CircularEconomy #ContinuousImprovement #TeamLeadership #Reliability #Innovation #PracticalSolutions #MrBumblebee

Experience

  • Chief Executive Officer at Iku-Tarvas Oy
    Jan 2018 - Present · 8 yrs 7 mos

    My business operations currently focus on three main areas: Renovation and yard maintenance services – the primary source of cash flow for the company. Beekeeping and training – a growing segment that includes honey production as well as introductory beekeeping courses. Development of bumblebee rearing – with the long-term goal of making this the company’s main line of business. We have also previously been involved in edible insect production. Although this activity has since ended, insects – both honeybees and bumblebees – remain a central part of our strategy and future development path.
