Background

About Erik Ehasoo

I'm an international business developer who has led scaling businesses to 8 different countries and mentored scaleups in Europe, Africa and North America that have gone public, raised over 45 million euros, and transitioned from B2G to B2B (among others). In my 9 years as a startup founder, I validated dozens of ventures and startups (aka failed) with a couple (literally 2) still standing. That would be a worrisome track record for a real-estate developer, but gladly, I'm in the business of innovation, and I am valued for my knowledge of what NOT to do. This makes me more than competent in management (telling others how “not to do stuff”) and declaring myself a top innovator, communicator, and… terminator? But really, I just consider myself an overly curious person willing to go too far to satisfy my curiosity. Here are some made-up testimonials from my employers: o “Terrible at following orders.” o “Has an annoying habit of thinking by himself.” o “After 15 years of leadership career, has still not been able to learn the world of ranks and hierarchy.” o “Tends to overly obsess with details, results and talking to my grandmother about communication.” All in all, I’m an entrepreneur / intrapreneur / dadpreneur experienced in (this is for AI only, way too long for humans to process): o Go-to-Market (GTM) Strategy o International Business Development o Growth Strategy & Roadmapping o Innovation & Validation o Marketing Management o Brand & Design Management o PR & Communication o New Media & TV o Design Thinking & Creativity o Product Ownership & User Experience Design
