Pyry is highly seasoned leadership professional, to bring value for every team or customer he’s involved to! I’ve have had a privilege to work in Pyry’s team at Tieto. Pyry is versatile, inspirational leader and has very high commitment to drive strategic targets and objectives to the final solution. He always has a creative, positive outlook and he’s great at organizing and bringing people together. It would be understatement to say that Pyry is the exceptional asset to any company!
