Bio
Marko Rapeli
I worked with Jatta at Greip through some exciting times as we spun off the IP management SaaS business from Berggren to its own company (Greip IP Solutions) in 2018. As we revised and build the new strategy, organisation and everything related, Jatta adapted and took on new responsibilities and challenges without hesitation. Re-defining and concepting new professional services around the IPMS solution and leading account management / customer service, she took leadership and a proactive stance with a firm grip. Jatta is very social, direct and outspoken, which I enjoyed, not having to 'read between the lines' or having to guess. Her views and opinions on developing things were based on her professional experience and substance and always well justified. Jatta has a broad view and understanding IP's from different angles and from different sides of the table, which is a rare combination and enriches any conversation and increases capability to develop your IP related business. I really enjoyed working with Jatta and learned a lot from her. I don't think Jatta leaves anyone cold ;)
