Presiding, party-appointed or sole arbitrator in arbitration proceedings under a number of different laws and rules, including the ICC, the Finland Arbitration Institute (FAI), the SCC, the DIS, the Swiss Rules and the UNCITRAL Rules. I served as a member of the ICC International Court of Arbitration from 2018 to 2024, and prior to that on the Board of the FAI from 2013 to 2018. My arbitration experience covers also various types of expedited proceedings and statutory arbitrations (squeeze-outs of minority shares in listed and private companies). I am also a trained mediator and have served as mediator in mediation proceedings.
