Summary

I am a dual citizen of the United States of America and the European Union (Finland) currently enrolled

in my last semester at Vanderbilt University studying Economics and Corporate Strategy. I served in the

United States Army for 3 1/2 years in several capacities. I have a wealth of problem solving and

leadership experience and hope to bring my resources to your company with me. With my dual

citizenship I am fully capable of being located either state side or internationally, dictated by the needs of

the position.

My latest work involved the valuation of privately held businesses for the purpose of buy/ sell

agreements or for acquisition through multi-year earn out contracts. The projects I enjoyed most were the

projects where I got to go recruit the customer and work with them throughout the entire process as well

as the projects that involved negotiation over price of acquisition; projects that involve interacting with

people. While I feel that I am in the top tier of my peers for practical knowledge and understanding, I

believe that my greatest asset lies in my ability to communicate with and understand people more

completely than any of my peers. I look forward to brining all of my assets to your firm to see what we

can accomplish together.
