I am a results-driven technology executive with 24+ years of professional experience and a rich blend of strategic leadership, product development expertise, and deep-seated passion for open-source software. I am currently working as the Software Development Manager for the core engine team delivering the Amazon RDS for MySQL and MariaDB services. Before it I was the CEO of Seravo until 2021, and the CEO of MariaDB Foundation until 2018.
Related to Ubuntu, I used to work for Seravo Oy, which owns Linux-tuki.fi and is a former Ubuntu Affiliate (until program was renamed and terms changed). Linux-tuki.fi provides general Linux support services, but most of the clients run Ubuntu. In 2008 Linux-tuki also sold pre-installed Ubuntu laptops until Intel distributor stopped providing the hardware.
I've been involved in the making of localized Linux-CDs. Of Ubuntu I've made Finnish versions since the release of Ubuntu Linux 5.04 Fi. I'm responsible for the administration of www.ubuntu.fi and www.valo-cd.fi, member of FSFE and COSS and in general very active Linux and FOSS promoter in Finland.
My activities in the Linux community are quite numerous, too many to list here..
