Kalle Aho

Born Kaarlo Kustaa Brofeldt in Lapinlahti on July 6, 1865, he later became known as Kalle Aho. He was the first head of the Kuopio business school, went on to serve in a leading role at the Finnish Businessmen's Commercial Institute, and became the first editor-in-chief of Kauppalehti when the paper was founded in 1897.

Alongside that work, he wrote plays in Finnish. His best-known surviving work is Epäilijä, an early drama that is available through Project Gutenberg and has helped keep his name visible to later readers.

Sources also describe him as politically active, and he spent time in the United States after being expelled from Finland during the Russian rule period. He died in Kotka on September 10, 1936. No suitable verified portrait image was found during this search, so none is included here.
