Mr. Hurri began his commercial career in the Technology Department of Ahlstrom Corporation, once the largest company in Finland. During his 13 years there, Hurri played a significant role in leveraging and adapting the newest technologies for the company.

After perfecting the global telecommunications network for the company, Hurri decided to accept his new challenge to lead the Network Operations Group at EUnet Finland.

In 2001, Hurri, coupled with his expertise, background and a powerful team of Finnish technology professionals, established BaseN Corporation.

Most of Hurri's innovation and leadership qualities stem from his training in the Finnish Air Force, which by his own words, was the best school he has ever attended to.

Mr. Hurri has studied at the University of Helsinki and the Helsinki University of Technology.
