Niko is an excellent communicator and truly a champ in organizing and arranging team activities, making sure all promises are kept and acted upon.

In the center of my focus was the Digital & Interactive Entertainment track - a track that focuses on digital strategies, innovative digital business models, and digital transformation. I started my job by selling 6 digital transformation projects to 6 notable organizations and companies in the Finnish market. I first approached C-level business and IT decision makers by cold calling, email prospecting and via social networks to identify potential collaboration areas. Moving on from opportunity identification, I went through a rigorous project ideation phase with a number of organizations, finally closing down the projects in my territory. Having closed the deals, my responsibility was shifted to act as program manager for the digital transformation projects for client organizations. In cooperation with CDO’s and top-level IT Managers, I envisioned and oversaw development projects that applied design thinking and user-centered service design into uncovering untapped potential digital disruption might unfold. Utilizing elements of the Scrum and Lean methodologies, all the projects were carried out in time in excellent customer satisfaction.
