Raine Kajastila is CEO and founder of Valo Motion. He has a strong background in interaction technologies and international business from a combination of both academia and industry. Previously he expanded his Ph.D. research at Aalto University into two spin-off companies and Facebook ultimately acquired one of them in 2014. After the finalization of his doctoral thesis, Raine concentrated his post-doc research on augmented exercise and sports training environments, which are the core of Valo Motion’s products. The research work lead into the successful commercialization of ValoClimb and ValoJump technologies and a Valo Motion with business in over 60 countries. In his spare time, Raine is climbing rocks around the world and endlessly innovating better (sometimes even impossible) solutions for all things that just don’t work well enough.
