My name is Pertti Kortejärvi, and I am
A father of two teenage boys.
I am also an expert in risk management and safety development and have performed various tasks in the safety field for 25 years. My tasks vary from development tasks concerning the whole field to constructing individual subject matter entities, in both short development projects and others running for several years. I work in tight co-operation with safety and security experts, companies, authorities, and organizations, and networking and co-operation skills are my special strengths.
I have led several collaboration and development projects, and therefore project planning, management and leadership have become strong fields of competence for me. I am also very good at grasping vast entities and new things. I am curious by nature and always willing to learn something new.
In my work, I set clear objectives and also plan the work accordingly in collaboration with different operators. I also grasp organization’s operational objectives and draft safety development plans in such a way that they will support and facilitate the achievement of the organization’s primary function.
When implementing development measures, my strong competence and experience in education helps me in working with different personnel groups and implementing the results in daily work.
During my free time, I like to keep fit by walking my dog and coach junior football team.
