Bio
Maria Vanhahonko, MBA 🎯
Me and Turkka worked together in Nordea to prevent tax evation by developing processes. Turkka proved to be very reliable and hard working colleague with good expertise. Turkka also kept every promise. It was pleasant to work with Turkka!
Jan Dabrowski
I have had a pleasure to work with Turkka in the same unit since 2016. He is a modest and quiet person. Although, the results of his performance are outstanding. He is that kind of person who is a trustable partner and relevant member of the team. His promises are always timely delivered, with high standard. He has extensive knowledge in the tax due diligence in the area of FATCA and CRS. Moreover, he's got acquainted with KYC Enhanced Due Diligence as well. Nowadays Turkka provides essential support as a Chief in KYC Process Excellence unit. Turkka is a great person with strong ownership. He is an excellent and valuable team player, a great asset for an organization. To conclude, I would like to emphasize my strong recommendation for Turkka.
