Virpi Viinikainen
Having worked with Jarno within the retail industry, he has my highest appreciation when it comes to retail concepts, services, network and channel development as well as working with stakeholders - just to mention a few. His people perspective touches both the organization and customers. He is always ready to roll up his sleeves and get going. Extremely fun guy to work with!

I have had the privilege to work with Jarno as a management team colleague in a time of strong growth and acquisitions. Jarno is a trusted colleague who is able to keep it all together and having eyes on the ball, even when the pace is really fast. Jarno radiates professionalism, trust and calmness, yet he is a leader who is all in, fun to work with and inspires his team to go the extra mile. Jarno understands the meaning of employee engagement for business results and he actively works to develop it further. Jarno is a true team player!
