I had the pleasure of working with Jussi at Aibidia, where his design background naturally served our UX and UI related development efforts. He actively participated in the design process, bringing valuable insights that made our compliance product more intuitive and user-friendly.

Jussi also led the recruitment process for our Design Lead position, structuring the interview rounds, designing home assignments, and leveraging his professional network to find the right candidate. Beyond his product work, Jussi contributed significantly to our Tampere office culture by organizing team events and handling office-related practicalities. His eye for design talent and collaborative approach made him an invaluable asset to our team. Any organization would benefit from his product management expertise and design sensibility.

I worked closely with Jussi at Aibidia, where he demonstrated strong agile product management skills. He excelled at facilitating agile ceremonies and managing our product backlog, keeping our development process efficient and transparent.

What impressed me most was Jussi's ability to balance competing priorities. He carefully allocated development efforts between new features, improvements, technical debt reduction, and team productivity initiatives. This is a difficult balance that he managed with great judgment. His decisions consistently optimized for both short-term delivery and long-term product health. Jussi also strengthened our capabilities by facilitating negotiations for external developers and agile coaches.

I have known Jussi first through a shared hobby and later as a colleague at the same company. Jussi is an energetic and results-oriented professional who approaches his work with genuine passion. Among his strengths is the ability to manage broad initiatives without losing sight of the details. Thanks to Jussi's active initiative and sharp instinct, I had the opportunity to work with a skilled team and develop my professional skills in meaningful projects with great customers and talented colleagues.

Jussi brought valuable real-world insights to our Research-to-Business teams, drawing from his extensive experience in digital product design and product management. He went above and beyond by thoroughly preparing for the workshop, delivering practical frameworks the teams could immediately apply, and providing comprehensive follow-up materials with clear next steps. His ability to translate complex commercialization concepts into accessible guidance was exactly what our research teams needed.
