He takes the bigger picture into account in a systematic and efficient way ensuring that the essence of a solution does not only meet the short-term needs of today but is also ready to accommodate to the requirements of inevitable future evolution - in the first wave. A splendid chap, one might say.

In short you can trust him to get things done.

No matter how complex the topic is, Ville can grasp the essential and create actionable plans for project teams to execute. I also want to thank Ville for his fearless promotion for agile practices - he has been the primary factor for establishing the agile way of working for our program team comprising business and development, and he has also promoted the same in larger Nokia IT context. The work has clearly started to bear fruit with good results, and got attention in senior management levels.
Program Director
Ville is an energetic and positive team builder who knows just about everything there is worth knowing about in the digital space! Ville is a strategic thinker but knows even a rock solid strategy needs a solid implementation to be successful. Ville always breaks down problems to look at what the consumer wants, how business is able to deliver and how business is able to maximize value. The high-standards Ville sets for himself, he expects from this team and colleagues. Having had the pleasure to work with Ville, it is precisely his ability to support and challenge his team and colleagues to better results, which makes working with him inspiring. And Ville does all this always with a grain of good humor!
