Bio
Ilmari Kontulainen
Antti worked at Deveo first as a sales manager but transformed into being responsible for Deveo's inbound marketing. Antti was quick to learn a completely new domain and always willing to get his hands dirty. As a proof, during Antti's time at Deveo, the weekly visitors at deveo.com grew 500% and the weekly number of new leads grew 300%. Antti worked at Deveo until the acquisition by Perforce Software Inc. Motivation, working hard and dedication describe Antti's work ethic and thus, I can warmly recommend Antti to any marketing, business development or sales related position that requires spontaneity and getting things done mentality.

I've known Antti for almost 25 years. He's one the most polite and trustworthy persons I have met; a true gentleman. Antti is reliable and easy to approach. Also, I think Antti is a natural born sales guy. Not one of those who push stuff to you, but one that truly likes to learn what makes you tick and how he can solve your problems.

Deveo is an on-premises code management and collaboration platform with Git, Subversion, and Mercurial. It makes software development seamless by consolidating all the essential tools on one platform, thus improving efficiency and transparency. My responsibility is to manage Deveo's inbound sales funnel. In other words, I drive new leads to our SaaS and on-premises platform through content marketing and move them forward in our sales funnel. During my time at Deveo, weekly visitors at deveo.com grew by 500% and the weekly number of new leads grew by 300%. Occasionally, a traditional sales rep is needed as well. Then, I pack my suitcase, comb my hair, and go meet the customer.
