Bio
Elena Tötterman
Kari is an excellent manager with lots of fantastic abilities, both personal and professional. One of the abilities that I mostly appreciate and that makes him so successful is high feeling of responsibility for his job and his team, and the whole company!!. Kari developed a high performing and simply very effective team, he knows the container market really well and can solve large problems. Our clients both in Finland and abroad are very fond of Kari and how he works to solve their problems. I do not think anyone will disagree with me that he is a very good trainer and supporter, which I enjoyed during my first year working in Cosfim. I am very glad that we are working closely and I also enjoy Kari’s most friendliest attitude. I would highly recommend Kari for any prospective challenges!
