Tom Henriksson
General Partner
"It's not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me." BatMan
An OpenOcean Partner and big believer in accurate consumer profiling and digital media technologies, Tom’s previous experience includes launching and leading Nokia Interactive Advertising – the leading first generation premium mobile ad-network. Tom scaled the business from scratch to $50 million in revenues in less than three years, including the acquisiton of Boston-based Enpocket Inc.
Tom’s first encounter with Monty and the MySQL mafia happened when he was Managing Director at Holton Ventures, leading the Series A round in MySQL.
Tom is a President of the Finnish Tech Tour 2000, an MBA graduate from Helsinki School of Econ and Businesses, and holds a military rank of a 2nd Lieutenant (we don’t mess with him..)
A self-taught (but not too bad!) wine sommelier, Tom always makes sure our offsites miraculously end up having a golf course around.
