Juhani Mykkänen


Tech entrepreneur, Helsinki & San Francisco. I work on efforts to maximize the benefits of AI while minimizing its risks. Story of me and AI here.

One of the founders of the local commerce platform Wolt, operating in 30+ countries with 50M+ customers, acquired for $8B by DoorDash in 2022 (I left the company in 2024 after 10 years). 

On the hobby side, I’m the founder of both the largest functional fitness competition in Finland, WOD-liiga as well as Salmisaaren Saliseura, the cosy CrossFit Open Gym in Salmisaari, Helsinki. 

My Instagram gives an idea about my non-work life.

Resume here.
