Program and Educational Content Developer
Vertical and Aalto Executive Education have a joint management education program developed for Stora Enso. Vertical facilitates real life collaboration case development for 3 month with 6 startups every year.
My role was to develop educational materials that would take project developers from brainstorming the concepts to pitching a partnership business case. Together with my colleague we have transformed a traditional acceleration program into a vehicle for shaping joint innovation projects.
See sample materials:
- Collaboration Assumptions
- Innovation Priorities
- Business Concepts

Project Lead
Pfizer Finland has initiated a novel operational principle within the company. With the help of Vertical they have partnered with the startups Popit and Sidekick Health, shaping a patient-centric development process.
My role was in making sure that the collaboration interest will grow through the piloting phase into a longterm partnership. Together with the Pfizer Finland team we were building a process that could scale internationally. The setup that we have created allowed for the Sidekick Health to set their platform up in Sweden, Belgium, Netherlands, Ireland, Switzerland and Austria.

Service and Program Developer
One of the first projects in Vertical's pivot from being an accelerator was setting up a chain of Venture Client projects with various enterprises.
My role was in streamlining the methodology, materials and delivery processes. Together with the delivery team we had to find a balance in between assisting the startups on developing their cases and educating them in functioning independently. The methodology that we have developed through this process has become a fundament for the working principles of Combient Foundry, for whom we have run the first few iterations of their programs.
Within the period of a 1.5 years I have been leading and delivering venture client projects with Pfizer, Stora Enso and Epiroc.
