Bio
Yrjötapio Kivisaari
I had a great pleasure of working with Tanja in her role as the Finnish Fair Corporations Sales Manager. She has great sales skills and always makes sure that customer comes first. She also thinks outside of the box and makes sure that everything that has been agreed on always happens. She is an example of a great team leader and I warmly recommend her to any position that requires multitasking and taking care of demanding projects.

Tanja is a dynamic and supportive leader. As a sales group managers she handels and takes responsibility of several big events, it also means that she has a broad range of skills. She graps new concepts quickly and does developing work when needed. She strives for solution problems with a possitive attitude, she really is a creative problem solver. Tanja has a sales background so she really helps sales managers and gives another aspects to issues. As a leader, Tanja communicates clearly to her team, she takes an active role and motivates her team employees. I can truly recommend her as a superior.
