Bio
Karla Asikainen
I had the pleasure to have Markku in my team as an Operations Manager supporting our commercial team at PulseOn. Based on our experience of working together, Markku truly is a master of multitasking, has an excellent self-driven attitude and an ingrained customer-driven mindset. At PulseOn, he had responsibilities across a variety of sales and operations tasks, constantly providing not only a positive can-do attitude but also excellent performance. He is able to dynamically adapt to different organizational needs and proactively seeks to go beyond expectations. He has been an absolute pleasure to work with and has brought positive energy to the team. I can highly recommend him to any operations role and firmly believe that his skills will be best utilized in demanding roles with a large scale of responsibilities within any organization with varying sales and operations needs.
