Sami in a few words
Do you need something done? I'm a no-frills get-it-done kind of person, with 20 years of experience and a track record of delivering software and services that also meet customer expectations.

Having worked in product development leadership positions at Nokia, Microsoft, and SSH, as well as startups such as MaaS Global, where I created the award-winning Whim service, I have a mix of both big business and startup experience. It also shows that I'm not afraid of a challenge or getting my hands dirty. I'm very hands-on but can smoothly transition to interface with top management and marketing, speaking their language and translating their feedback back to development in an actionable way.

At Baloise, a Swiss insurer, I developed a new data platform and GenAI testbed, which was the first true cloud-native data offering in their highly regulated environment.

But I am looking for the next project starting in November. I can set up a local presence in several places in Europe, including Germany, Switzerland, Netherlands, Poland, Nordics, and the UK, according to agreement.
