How Teemu is building a better working world
"I have always been a strong advocate for technology. In my experience, AI and other digital technologies are not here to steal our jobs, but to transform the way we work. They have allowed me to focus on what truly matters: driving the business forward, supporting people, and contributing to a better working world.
Through my work, I have seen how technology can amplify the voices of those who previously couldn't be heard. While technological advancements do bring new risks, I believe that when used responsibly, they can enhance democracy, empower individuals, and build bridges between cultures."
