Speakers
Juha Korhonen (COO, JIO Research Centre, Europe)
Juha has a broad experience from army officer and psychologist to VP at a start-up that sold for €3.2bn.
Currently Juha works with Jio, the largest mobile network operator in India, to build up their presence in Europe. As Chief Operating Officer of Jio Research Centre in Europe, Juha is the Point of Contact for all company-related questions in Europe, ranging from business cooperation to research programmes.
Juha is fascinated by the interaction between tech and human behavior. How do we interact with IT as users and, at least equally importantly, how do the people that create these solutions interact with each other on their end? More broadly speaking, Juha loves bringing out the best in people. This means when the going gets tough or the objective is confusing, seeing right through the haze and build teams with a working culture that plays to their strengths.
