Personal background

I was lucky to be born in Finland (Helsinki), one of the wealthy Nordic countries, where I am still living. Being endowed with a reasonable amount of wit and with the help of the excellent Finnish education system, I managed to graduate from the Helsinki School of Economics (B.Sc. in Business Administration). After five years of domestic employment, it was time to work abroad – 4,5 years in Saudi-Arabia and one year in Libya. Later on I had the chance to study and work 6 months in China (Tianjin, Shanghai). Clan Ylä-Kauttu comes from Ruovesi in Central Finland.
