RESUME OF Sampo Kallunki

THIS IS A VISUAL

MEET YOUR NEXT Talent!  

It was January 2011.

I had just visited Zappos.com - the Amazon owned company in Las Vegas -

and I was truly inspired. So, I began to

think… “What would I do, if I wasn’t afraid?”

TURNING POINT

I let go of my fears and went after

my dreams. I became self-employed business consultant and worked nearly two years as an

Interim CEO and Chairman of the Board.

BOUNCING BOARD

Big Goals

AND THAT’S WHY I’M NOW

LOOKING FOR A JOB

I learned that being part of a team and working towards common goals is more

rewarding, than being my own boss.

SO, WHAT’S THE TALENT?
