Laura Laamanen
Drive for results and passion for constant improvement – and a great sense of humour! These are some of the reasons why I’ve valued and enjoyed working with Janne at SATO so much. As a leader, Janne is demanding and fair. He’ll push you to reach even the most ambitious goals and targets; but he will always have your back and ensure you have both the tools and the freedom to succeed. He is a great coach and can help you to realize your whole potential. Janne is a quick learner and able to adapt his learnings in constantly changing business environment. While Janne is for sure a solution-oriented business professional, Janne was also always ready to try out new, innovative ways to improve customer experience or our teamwork. Moreover, Janne is also a great storyteller and simply, a great person to work with.
