Juha Huttunen
chief executive officer
TripSay.com

Realising the difficulty of planning a trip with the endless clutter of information and advice available on the web, Juha Huttunen combined his entrepreneurial drive, business development expertise, and passion for travel to co-found TripSay.com – a new travel site that lets travellers share and discover new places and activities with highly-personalized tips and recommendations.

Before founding TripSay, Juha led mobile application sales at Sybase Finland – creating and developing a sustainable business in mobile applications from scratch. Prior to Sybase, he was business unit manager and vice-president of European Sales for Novintel, where he managed the company’s sales to new customers and business development.

In 2000 Juha founded Matchem, a wireless entertainment company that pioneered interactive SMS TV shows, and successfully raised financing, managed the company and ultimately sold the company. He received a Master of Science in Engineering from Helsinki University of Technology and has been a featured speaker on mobile solutions and the social web at numerous events.
