Pekko Pirhonen

Board member Pekko is in charge of networking within higher education sports services and overseeing the federation’s sports committee. In his day job as a wellbeing coordinator at LUT University, he brings valuable insight from university sports services to the Finnish Student Sports Federation.

A lifelong sports enthusiast and former basketball player, Pekko’s competitive spirit remains strong – but nowadays, it comes to the surface only when circumstances call for it. Not everything has to be about competition, Pekko believes, and he now finds a balance between competition and shared activities through an active lifestyle and board game groups.
