What Colleagues Say
Trusted by senior leaders and teams across the industry
Arttu and I worked together for more than 2 years at Miradore while integrating into GoTo. Arttu brought solid senior leadership and product management skills together to help us deliver on value creation for our Miradore customers and the business overall. His leadership, product approach and focus on results were standout and highly valued in helping the company set direction and strategy in UEM and MDM.
Arttu joined Miradore as the Chief Product Officer, and in my opinion, he has performed exceptionally well. Looking back, there hasn't been a single decision from him that I would consider a mistake. Especially given the limited resources, he consistently delivered outstanding results. He has always been open to input, interested in what is happening in the markets and with customers, readily available for a short call or chat, and deeply committed to understanding customer needs and the value of those needs. From a personal perspective, Arttu is simply a great character—open-minded, friendly, and genuinely human (not a robot). Working with him has been a pleasure not just on a professional level but also on a social level.
