My passion is developing the operations of safety-critical organizations in different industries. My background is a decades-long maritime search and rescue career and countless development projects in this specialty. As a human factors specialist, I have been consulting safety and HF in the rescue sector, other industries, and among authorities. I also have extensive experience in communications and media in the background, which I use in various projects.
I am passionate about producing new information and, for example, developing safe and efficient working methods. The performance of safety-critical organizations is developed significantly through the proactive mastery of human factors. I specialize in these aspects as a doctoral researcher at the University of Vaasa.
I graduated with a master's degree in administrative science in the spring of 2020 (the University of Vaasa, School of Management). Since then, I have trained as an occupational health and safety manager and CRM trainer, among other things.
