Vaasa and Pohjanmaa are some of Finland's most multi-cultural places, and this has contributed greatly to the region's success. I want to help make Vaasa and Pohjanmaa a place where internationals feel cared for, plugged in, and welcome. I want to create opportunities for everyone to be able to engage and contribute to society and feel proud that we are building something together, regardless of where we come from.

I beleive that governance should be efficient and inclusive, and that diverse ideas and diverse ideas and points of view build on shared values are what will lead us to success.

Hi! My name is Daniel and my wife and I have six school-age children. After graduating with a communications degree from an Applied Sciences University in Singapore, I spent several years in the mission field and on staff in my church. I also established several marketing and communications companies in Singapore as well as one of Singapore's leading online news outlets.

In 2018, our family moved to Vaasa, my wife's hometown, and since then I have mostly been working with global startups and high tech companies in management and leadership roles. I'm a deacon in my local church.
