Kari has been a Toastmaster since 2016, discovering that communication is every bit as fascinating as embedded software.
By profession, he’s an embedded software engineer. By curiosity, he’s an Improvert always learning, experimenting, and helping others grow. He believes the best leadership begins with listening, and the best conversations start with “Yes, and…”
One of Kari’s more unexpected adventures? Becoming a Swamp Volleyball World Champion in 2019. Apparently, leading through uncertainty is excellent preparation for both muddy courts and Toastmasters meetings.
Whether supporting clubs, exploring new ideas, or connecting with fellow members, Kari enjoys creating spaces where people feel encouraged to try, learn, and discover their own voice.
