This week Finnish leadership is… Learning from its own mistakes. 🤭
This week we sit down with investor, board member and former CEO of F-Secure and FingerPrint Cards Christian Fredrikson to discuss the lessons of leading global companies and learning from mistakes. Christian is delves into his journey from football and engineering to billion-dollar deals and karaoke. Through the conversation we discuss working cultures, support networks, the hunger for growth, how promises become metrics, how everyone loves Turku and we even touch on the complexities of the Nokia saga and what we can learn from it all.
Enjoy!
