About Mikko Vainonen

Hi, I’m Mikko – a former professional ice hockey player turned sales professional, passionate about understanding what drives people. I spent over a decade playing pro hockey across North America and Europe. That journey wasn’t just about the game; it was about learning to lead under pressure, adapt quickly, build trust fast, and always keep the team in mind. Today, I bring those same principles into the business world. At Siqni, I help organizations uncover what truly matters to their people – and how that insight can drive performance, engagement, and culture forward. Whether I’m wearing a suit or stripes (yes, I also referee ice hockey games), my focus is on clarity, fairness, and connection. I believe the best results come when we genuinely listen – on the ice, and in the office. Let’s connect – whether to share ideas, talk hockey, or explore how to make your workplace a little more human. mikko@siqni.fi 050 430 7287
