Bio
Mark Joki
Göran is an outstanding sales manager. I have been directly involved in multiple OSS projects from birth to conception. Göran is without a doubt the best sales manager I have ever worked with. He listened to what we needed and facilitated all aspects of the due diligence process done before the signing of the contract. He then was actively involved in the implementation of the product suite our company purchased from EHPT. I would gladly work with him on any project, knowing that he would assure that the project would be good for the client as well as his own organization.

Goran has both in-depth subject matter expertise in the communications/technology space and superior client-facing skills. He connects with clients and business partners. Additionally he is a closer. As such I would recommend Goran to any company looking to expand in the technology space.
