Jean-Marc Salsa (Treasurer)

“Always learning, always discovering, always connecting” is his credo. Jean-Marc loves to travel and discover new ideas and concepts.
Trained as an engineer, he turned increasingly to the “business” side (management consulting), to specialize in innovation (Design Thinking, Lean Startup) and digitalization (Customer Experience, Process Improvement, Creation of new Business Models).
Estonia – one of the most digitized countries in the world – has naturally become a playground for these activities. Today, Jean-Marc never stops traveling, and enjoys working and getting involved with young companies with innovative and responsible projects.
