Tommi Lahde is a 46-year-old environmental campaigner and fashion entrepreneur. He is the founder of practical and ecological underwear brand The Other Danish Guy, based out of Finland, but available globally. He is married and a pleased father to a young girl. He is determined to protect the world’s seas from marine litter. His underwear apparel are available worldwide and are produced using a texture that is made of disposed of fishing nets and different things gathered from the oceans, where they constitute a risk to marine animals. The organization takes the materials they tidy up from oceans worldwide and forms them into classy fashion items. The founder Tommi Lahde (who used to be a former UN Peace Keeper) first started this idea via a highly successful campaign on Indiegogo and has since helped to change the culture of underwear and fashion in general, to get more companies to become eco-friendly and save our planet.

Tommi Ladhe used to work for Channel Four in Finland as Head Marketing. He has also worked in some of the greatest ad agencies. His professional background is a brand strategist. He loved doing work with few fine brands and companies that operate on a global scale. His dream was to end up becoming an architect. He loves creating new things where there is no hope left behind. However, after his service as UN Peace Keeper, he ended up studying communications and economics. Especially behavioral economics matters were interesting for him. Since he needed to take in more about the impacts of mental, social, subjective, and passionate factors on the economic decisions of individuals and organizations and the results at showcase costs, returns, and assets. I guess that is the reason why he is in this business. It is not that far away from architecture because architecture is about the things you can measure and the things you cannot or the things that you can only sense.

As an entrepreneur and brand consultant, he was responsible for a creating a future strategy to a huge finance corporation.
The uniqueness of the brand:
During Tommi’s career, he learned, that companies need to perceive the historic opportunity to change the way they do business and give clients more value-rich, sustainable, and meaningful brands, products, services, and plans of action. When he started his brand everyone wanted to know that who is The Other Danish Guy. He just not makes comfortable underwears but rather The Other Danish Guy is extraordinary. The aim of his life is to believe in himself. He says that one of the things that prevents us once again from seeking after our fantasies is the dread of disappointment. He says that we need to have faith in ourselves to change the world. Sometimes it might require only one person to say that I believe in you. It is hard to be worried about the grand scheme of things in life if one’s got an itchy bum. That is why their tagline/slogan is the “fundamental layer of confidence”.
