Jussi Piri

Finland, Helsinki

On my spare time I fly a space rocket with my two boys. The space rocket is real, let no one say differently.

During the nights I delve into photography and painting, and spend too much time reading articles on new technologies, watches, design, advertising, digital marketing and fashion.

I keep my family fed. I cook amazing meals. Really, I do. I dabble in whisky and enjoy even bad movies, because well, you have to, in order to recognise the good ones.

On and off work, but on business, I’m very driven and pour my heart to every brand I work with. My peers say, that I’m a deep analytical thinker and a creative innovator with a very goal oriented mind. I need to understand and manage the big picture, but I’m known to have a keen eye on even the smallest visual details. I believe that passion in people drives results and do my utmost to inspire my teams towards a common goal.
