• What is Iikka Paavolainen's job title?

  Iikka Paavolainen is a "99% of companies know how to recruit the best archers out there, but they don't necessarily know how to recruit the person who will invent the rifle and win the war." My LinkedIn profile is purposefully somewhat verbose as it's intended to mirror my CV plus more. Native English and Finnish speaker, being born and having spent my early years in the UK. Citizen of both Finland and the UK. Having started and fallen in love with coding and gaming (and eventually designing and implementing my own games, mods and maps) since I was around 8, I love the human-tech element of game and app design and interaction. I also felt that the overall "feel" is a significant factor in the adoption of many games (and apps and platforms as well), which lead me to also study UI and UX and the impacts they can have. Very pragmatic and results-driven with a balanced mix of project/business, behavioral and technical skills. I have transitioned from technical orientation through project and business, to product management and passion for understanding what does and does not work for people. A self-starting learner (I have tended to spend my time on other things than mostly just watching random TV, so to speak) and thinker since a child, I like solving challenges, especially difficult ones. I'm also very social and easily thrive in multicultural environments and get along with people from all sorts of backgrounds and skill sets. I try to develop myself in various topics not only to enhance my understanding of the big picture but also find creative inspiration from other fields of knowledge and areas of expertise. No field exists in isolation, and often the best creative solutions come from a fertile ground of diverse experiences. Knowledge is not so much knowing the answers to questions as it's knowing what questions to ask, and you need to be exposed to a wide range of subjects before you form these questions. Rather than just remembering things by heart, more useful is, I find, developing your own "mental toolkit" into which you can dig into for different challenges. - Proven experience with business/product and people, maturity - Self-driven, proactive and forward-thinking - Focus on attempting to find solutions, not just problems; critical thinking - Deep work - Assertive but not arrogant - Stress and uncertainty tolerance i.e. cool-headedness from experience - Product & project management, especially using agile/scrum - Very positive-minded, with a "can do" attitude Member of MENSA IQ 166, but I don't consider it the be-all-end-all.
