I have a long perspective on Seppo's career, as we worked together in several different positions for a period of 8 years. We first worked together on an R&D project for a new FMS loading station, for which Seppo was the mechanical engineer, a task he embraced with enthusiasm and keen attention to detail. When considering his career at Fastems, it is impossible not to mention the incredible work he did on bringing Fastems' product data management to a whole new level with the implementation and management of a PDM system (together with Marja Lintala). This systematic approach to product data has been vital for Fastems. Seppo complements his technical skills in engineering and data systems with two highly valuable traits: his desire to always improve the status quo and his relentless passion to understand the customer. He is always ready to drive new ideas forward and comes up with many new ideas himself. During Fastems' turnaround program, these traits naturally led Seppo to the newly-established System Architect role, in which he defines complex automation solutions together with demanding B2B customers. His skills in engineering, innovation, and clear communication as well as focus on customer needs make him one of the few individuals able to succeed in this challenging role.
