Janne Vakio has over 20 years of experience across the audiovisual industry, spanning acting, producing, content management, and commissioning.
After leading HBO and Paramount+ across the Nordics and Baltics at Telia, he is now at MTV Finland, where he commissions scripted drama with a strong Nordic and international focus. His work centers on early partnership building, flexible windowing, and smart financing models that enable high‑end local stories to scale beyond borders.
Operating at the intersection of creativity and economics, Janne focuses on building sustainable value for creators, partners, platforms, and audiences through international collaboration and cross‑border co‑productions.
“Co‑productions are no longer just about sharing cost — they’re about building shows from day one for multiple territories, where every partner adds real creative, cultural, and commercial value.”
