It’s truly great to have Jussi continue my work as CEO of DNA. His approach to business is extremely customer and human oriented, which fits perfectly into DNA’s mindset and culture. In addition, he has extensive experience from IT and the corporate sector, which strengthens our expertise even further. I believe he’s just the right person to take DNA forward.
