Riitta Savolainen-Mäntyjärvi
We worked together with Joni in Kela. Joni was instrumental in demonstrating the practical side of agile, eg. SAFE. I learned how important it is constantly get back to basics and then - just do it. He showed how to best use methods, best practices to further build my experience in the area. Joni is 100% professional who shared his experience and knowledge in a concrete way. He supports his colleagues wholeheartedly and wants people to succeed. It was an honor and a pleasure to work with him. I am grateful I know him.

It is my pleasure recommend Joni for ICT technical roles. Joni had a rigorous approach to any activities he executed while working with me in Accenture. Joni started 2006 with application maintenance, with minor development, and with change requests, though not so much client facing at the beginning (=Jr SW Developer). Joni grew with the team and related to technical matters he became in a few years, one of the most reliable and respected team members. Joni understood the importance of being exact when delivering services or deliverables and the target timing of such. Until 2010/2011, Joni worked in the teams where I was the Service Manager. It was a pleasure to work with Joni; he was always rigorously fulfilling requirements and objectives given to him or following through any task given by him to others. There was no doubt about what the outcome would be. Even though Joni did not directly report to me after 2011, I followed his journey as a coach and a colleague and saw him continue as Service Delivery Team Lead and further as SM, Scrum Master, and PM. Joni's way of working was very rigorous and punctual, he always took the time to understand what was written in the service contract through and through and what de facto it really means leaving no gaps or grey areas to follow what was agreed upon and how it should be delivered. It was also a pleasure to follow Joni to work with his responsibilities like team people management, coaching in the technical matters, setting objectives etc. when client facing activities started to be one of the important activity areas.
