I’ve been part of the Estonian startup sector for the last 20 years. As a maths nerd, using the power of data, making the world a better place for people around. Working with several Unicorns, I’ve gathered evidence that highly skilled people with a great mission can change the whole world - no matter where they are or how large their company is. In my experience, it’s completely true in our technology sector: “Not the Big That Eat the Small...It's the Fast That Eat the Slow.” After years of building AML, Fraud and KYC products and teams in Wise and Skype, I decided to put my experience into higher scale and founded Salv in order to help thousands of financial institutions and 10's of thousands of crime fighters around the world to beat financial crime. People tend to get surprised that in my home, I’ve got a 7 /note: that’s the place where the intro should end and you need to click read more/ saunas. I’m never sure what’s so surprising there - as a passionate wilderness runner, I get wet / muddy / snowy / sweat / tired often and my saunas are great places to recover! I’m happy to connect with fellow AML and fincrime enthusiasts and people interested in utilising technology to collaborate and beat financial crime. In addition to sharing my experience and Salv’s products in the crime fighting space, I’m always enjoying talks about growing startups, high-risk investments, complex maths, marathon-running and other similar fairly complicated topics.
