Hello, my name is Jasmine Z. Kukko.

I'm a high-energy and social tech business developer and marketer by day and aspiring writer by night. I have a passion for telling stories, using my tone of voice and life experiences to create written and visual content that is optimized and engaging to the reader. I get to best put my creativity at work when I write pieces about lifestyle, tech, traveling, life abroad, career, entrepreneurship, and relationships. Professionally I thrive in high-energy environments, by learning new things and have a passion for helping organizations figure out the best way to innovate their processes and departments by automation and digitization.

I work full-time at Aexus B.V., as a business development manager of complex software and IT solutions developed by tech companies entering the Benelux and Nordic markets by managing their end-to-end sales and business development activities. My mission is to create long-term and innovation-driven collaborations between the companies and public & private organizations. Due to my passion for tech and the future I like to attend start-up, tech, and related events to keep up to date with current trends and to network.

I earned my master’s in international marketing from Åbo Akademi University in Turku, Finland. I value international experiences and studied at Montpellier Management in Southern France studying marketing and sales with electives in entrepreneurship in French for a year. My most fond educational experience was at Utica College, in upstate New York, while studying public relations and journalism for a year. My writing has been published on my personal site jasminezelda.com, global youth and millennial site Global Young Voices, travel booking site TravelBird (RIP 2018), Utica College’s physical college newspaper as a weekly columnist and Åbo Akademi University’s student blog.

On the more personal side I believe every human being on this planet can make a difference if they set their mind to make a change (just look at the Swedish teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg!) and I believe corporates and politicians should follow suit in doing their bit in making the world a better place to live for the coming generations and for other living beings. I'm a firm believer in the art of paying it forward to spread kindness and in the Marie Kondo method of organizing your home and life.
