Timo Railo

Timo is a creator at heart with over 25 years of experience in the IT industry, who understands the client’s real needs and matches them with talented developers that are suitable – both technically and culturally – for the project.

Timo’s passion for coding started at the age of 9, and by the time he was 18 he had already founded his first IT business. Since then, he has established and exited 5 technology companies. Over the years, he has worked on many different kinds of development projects, and this experience taught him to see the big picture and understand how different business variables, aspects and people’s traits fit together. His natural ability to be creative and his endless curiosity have allowed him to coach 100+ teams and organizations and to lead 50+ development projects so far.

Just like Mari, he enjoys learning and exchanging creative ideas, which made him fall in love with Bulgarians’ inner drive for growth and achievement.

Timo founded East to help Nordic companies find Bulgarian IT talent, which is not only remarkable but also shares remarkable cultural similarities to the Nordic countries.
