Hei! Hejsan! Hiya! My name is Phil and welcome to my site!
After ten years in Helsinki, Finland with various marketing and communication roles at Nokia’s global headquarters, I now call San Francisco, California home and spent eleven years as Equinix’s global social media strategist where I focused on paid advertising, content creation, and lead generation.
Buy my latest book “How To Marry a Finnish Girl” from Gummerus Publishers, which is now in it’s 12th print edition!
As the unofficial Chief Fun Officer of the organization, I create and lead custom team-building activities for groups around the company. Whether the team needs to align their goals, build trust amongst members, or boost their energy supply, I have a passion to bringing the best out of teams in a fun and engaging way – whether it be in office, on Zoom, or in a hybrid environment.
Watch and download my latest team-building creations and try them with your own teams!
As a lifelong tech junkie, my latest passion is learning how the latest AI tools can benefit my fellow marketers. Read my blog for my latest AI marketing discoveries and musings.
In my free time I am an avid board game designer. I am founder of the San Francisco Board Game Designers who meet monthly at Dogpatch Games in San Francisco. Check out my latest board game designs.
When I’m away from my desk, you can find me designing sounds on my modular synthesizer, practicing for a half marathon around Golden Gate Park, playing tennis at a court in the Sunset District, or snapping photographs at Ocean Beach with my keeshond pup Bochy.
