Timo Hakkarainen

Business strategies and plans, enabling and managing company growth, M&A, business networks and digital business as well as human resources development are my passion.

I graduated from Turku School of Economics and University of Turku, and acquired my experience in customer service, managerial and executive positions in various industries within the last 35 years, serving as a CEO for a third of that time.

In SMEs with highly different ownership-base, I learned to take initiative and make decisions independently but also to identify the situations where it is critical to call for an expert to assist. KTSHC has equipped me with a brilliant set of tools to support SMEs in their pursuit for growth and profitability.

I like spending my leisure time at sea or on a lake and going to the theatre or opera.
