Andero Laur

Chief Executive Officer

Andero has been involved in construction and project management since 2007. During this time he has developed over 100,000 m2 of buildings and designed more than 1000 apartments.

Andero is the kind of guy it is very difficult to truly butt heads with. Although discussions with him can sometimes get a little heated, he is rational and pragmatic by nature. His aim is to create long-term value that has an impact on people’s lifestyles and environment. He is bold enough to make big decisions and understands the long-term impact of activities.

Before founding Liven, Andero worked for 7 years at the international construction and property development company Skanska, where he started as a foreman on the construction site and ended up as a business manager on the management team.

He has a master’s degree in industrial and civil engineering from Tallinn University of Technology, and since the summer of 2022 he is studying AMDP (Advanced Management Development Program in Real Estate) at Harvard University.

Mihkel Simson

Construction Manager / Partner

Mihkel has been soaking up experience in construction management in Estonia and Finland since 2006. His portfolio includes three apartment buildings, 70 apartments and even an airport. Mihkel is fascinated by the culture of  South-East Asia and the contrasts of its big cities. For him the region is a source of inspiration and good ideas. He appreciates contemporary architecture and values brave solutions in interior design. During his free time he is often found on the golf course or tennis court honing both body and mind.Mihkel studied at Tallinn Technical University in the Faculty of Construction Economics and Management. After his second year of his studies there he joined Skanska during his summer work placement, which turned into an exciting and challenging work relationship that lasted more than eight years. During this time he participated in several interesting projects, such as the redesign of Tallinn Airport, the building of a wind park in Vanaküla and work on a sports and recreation centre in Helsinki. In recent years he has specialised in residential development and overseen the construction of three apartment buildings.

Mihkel likes the saying “What is measured improves”– Peter F. Drucker

Alina Kester

Creative Director

Alina is the creative director of Liven, that is, she does everything that engineers don’t

A person’s professional ability mostly consists of two things. What they learned in school and what they focus on in their free time. In Alina’s case these these two sides are almost controversial.

If, based on her educational background, she is a specialist with several master’s degrees, who feels equally at home in management, marketing and service design, she devotes her free time to an almost hippyish discovering of the world.

She is no stranger to Berlin’s nightlife and Sri Lanka’s surfing culture, ascetic hiking or Alliksaar’s poetry. She has mastered several disciplines, which is the foundation for being a creative director. Only if you have enough different Lego bricks, can you create something that has never been done before.

Alina has moved to more places in her life than all Liven’s people put together. It can be concluded that she is attracted by constant forward movement. As the only exception, she has been working at Liven since 2016. If you are reading this text, she does so to this day.
