General information
I have been running my own business in Sweden as well as in Estonia for a long time. I have been involved in production and international marketing. As an entrepreneur, I have learned the art of prioritisation and I believe that it will help me to provide a positive input for the benefit of the economy of the Republic of Estonia.
