Meet Mikko, Chief Development Officer and Founder of Finnish startup Vapaus whose journey into fatherhood made him realise he had an obligation to his daughter; fight climate change. He decided to resign his job as the CEO of a major consultancy and start a business that would add one million bikers on the road within a few years. Was it easy? No. One fiscal decision almost made him close his business and fire all his people. Was it fun? Very much so. It still is, and he’s happy to tell us all about it. Here’s the story of Mikko Ampuja.
