Bio
Anssi Sallinen
I had the privilege of working with Mr. Kokkola for nearly 4 years at Nebula. He is by far one of the best salespeople I have had the opportunity of working with or managing. Tomi is smart, positive and willing to give his best every single day at work. He is also one of the very few people in sales who cannot be classified into a simple farmer/hunter box as he excelled in both roles - simultaneously. Tomi is also considerate of his colleagues - not just the immediate people he works with on a day to day basis - but even the smallest worker ant tending the warren. I will wholeheartedly recommend Tomi for any role he feels fit for applying into.
