Mika is a dual-category Microsoft MVP (Cloud Security, and Azure Operations & Management) and Chief AI Officer at Netox, a Finnish Microsoft partner. He works where identity, cloud security and AI meet, on a problem that arrived faster than the governance for it: software that authenticates, holds real permissions, and acts on its own. Most organisations cannot name what is already running in their tenant, let alone who owns it or what it can reach. Mika spends his time answering those questions, from agent identity and permission design in Microsoft environments through to ServiceNow AI Control Tower as the enterprise register that tracks every agent an organisation runs, whichever platform built it. Around that he designs Azure AI landing zones, and still spends plenty of time on the unglamorous parts: policy as code, and PowerShell that has to run correctly at three in the morning.

In addition to his work in cloud and AI, Mika is deeply involved in humanitarian efforts. He serves as Head of Disaster Management for his local Red Cross branch and has been deployed as an information management delegate during natural disasters in Finland and abroad. His expertise in crisis response and data coordination plays a crucial role in emergency operations.

When he is not securing cloud environments, building AI solutions, or managing disaster response, you will likely find him enjoying craft beer.
