- The idea of establishing my own company came after we lost a significant brand in my previous workplace. I was the leading salesperson in my previous workplace.
- I was in such good relations with my current boss at Boat World Helsinki that he supported me by renting me an office space and two docks from their property. This is how the story of TheOne Marine Finland started.
- I started importing a Turkish brand called Dromeas Yachts and doing brokerage immediately.
- I designed a beautiful reception/office where I convinced more than hundreds of customers to sign deals with me. 99% of them are still satisfied and coming back to us.
