Mikko Silvennoinen’s Summary
Storytelling is my passion. And I love television - from reality shows to dramas to breaking news events. And of course I spend too much time on YouTube and read too much celebrity gossip. No matter what the medium, I get hooked on a good story. Those are the stories I also want to create.
Mikko Silvennoinen’s Specialties:
My specialty is the unique combination of experience in content and business. My skills include hands-on television production and the international business of television rights.
My background is in television journalism and reality shows. I’m experienced in field production (hosting, reporting, editing and producing).
And for the past four years, I have worked in international and domestic program acquisitions.
