About

Summary

My thirty plus years of work history is proof of my solid background of professional expertise in government affairs, resource management, administrative management, planning of organizational development in military medicine, and hospital relations, as well as CBRN protection and training of cyber skills within the healthcare and medical industry.

I have extensive experience at the executive group level and board level in multiple companies both in Finland and transnationally.

I am also a decorated Medical Service Corps Reserve Warrant Officer, and have been responsible for the development, training and testing of new medical equipment and emerging technologies for the Finnish Defence Forces during 1983 to 2010. Additionally, I have played a major role in the development of techniques, procedures and logistical integration of procured medical equipment for the Finnish Defence Forces.

My contributions to the medical and military industry has been widely recognized both nationally and internationally. I have established close working relationships with major militaries worldwide and with medical equipment and component manufacturers throughout the Nordic region as well as Europe and the United States.

I am also owner and CEO of Jalasvirta Group, which is specialized in the manufacture, sales, distribution, training and service of medical and protection systems on a global scale. The Group has developed medical technology to allow existing medical equipment to be expanded and modified for greater interoperability with other medical systems, such as field hospitals. Since 1985, Jalasvirta Group has specialized in telemedicine capabilities and in developing and equipping field hospitals for the Finnish Defense Forces. The Group has also been active in developing CBRN protection products.

Today, I focus primarily on using my wide professional experience to provide consulting services for the Military, Education, Cyber, Healthcare and Government business segments.
