Riesa's Team
In the spring of 2018 Anni and Atso were wondering why accessibility and through it encountering disabled people was so hard for many people. They decided to fix this problem. In the lack of existing channels, they decided to create their own. There was also a need for others, who shared the same passion about accessibility and so Joel and Mika joined the team. That’s how Riesa came about.
Our goal is to create a society, where taking disabled people into consideration isn’t a necessary evil but an opportunity. We train different societal operators to encounter disabled people and to realize the value of these encounters.
Anni Kyröläinen
Anni takes care in Riesa that compound words are correct, and schedules are kept. No accessibility matter is so problematic for Anni, that it couldn’t be solved. If you partake in pub quiz in downtown Helsinki and you care to win, make sure Anni isn’t in the opposing team.
Atso Ahonen
Atso is a clever and decisive idealist. In his spare time, you can find Atso recording a podcast or reading books about true crime. Whether it is a tight World Cup game or a company project, as a captain of the Powerchair Hockey Team Finland Atso is capable of leading his team in tight situations.
Joel Hentunen
Joel is an eager collector of new experiences together with being a top salesman, who can easily handle multiple projects at the same time. Whether it is arranging a training event or chanting in FC Honka’s football games, Joel does it with great passion.
Mika Borg
Mika, who has led his team to many Finnish championships as a coach brings not only financial expertise to Riesa, but active attitude and sharp observations. This British football fan’s own football career is likely to remain in the fourth division; however, he aims to bigger playing fields in his professional career.
Eemeli Mattila
Eemeli had the honor to be Riesa's first recruitment. He will be strengthening the sales team as well as using his fantastic media skills on the product side. Emppu’s mentality at work is the same as in sports - done in a serious but relaxed manner!
Ella-Riikka Isometsä
In work-life Ella-Riikka is used to fast pace and changing circumstances. She is a strong team-player who enjoys working with customers. When she does something, she does it properly and with quality. On her free-time Ella-Riikka has multiple home projects going on at the same time and she can handle everything from a paint brush to a hammer to even knitting needles.
