About Kasey

Kasey moved to Finland in 2016 from the US and found a country that awakened her spirit. The calm, nature oriented lifestyle motivated her to pursue a new 
passion: helping Finnish 
entrepreneurs share their 
innovations with the world. 
The exhilarating Finnish startup scene introduced her talented and inspiring founders. She also 
recognised a disconnect in
 communicating these amazing ideas to international markets. She was confident her American 
business knowledge would help bridge that gap. Kasey is currently pursuing her MBA in Business 
Informatics. Her thesis topic is 
business processes to assess 
market attractiveness 
for high-tech companies
