Sami Seppänen
Summary
Most of my knowledge, skills and experience come from working as part of Elisa's management, as the country manager of Elisa Estonia.
Elisa is a brilliantly managed company and generally recognized as one of the best long-term performers in its industry in Europe. Having been involved in the development of Elisa's winning corporate culture for a long time, I believe that I will also be useful in the development and growth of medium-sized and large companies outside the industry I know best. My current position of trust as a board member of the leading media company in the Baltics has already proven this.
