Career stories

Mikko

Regional Sales Manager, Yleiselektroniikka, Finland

“I have always been commercially inclined and interested in electronics. I have been able to work with these areas of interest at Yleiselektroniikka for over 25 years. In my work, I help our customers in the manufacturing industry build machines and equipment in various customers’ product development projects. I bring my expertise to them through consulting what components they should use, where they can be acquired, and how they can be acquired cost effectively.

The secret to me enjoying my work is that I have felt Yleiselektroniikka to be a stable employer to which I have been willing to commit and I believe this relationship benefits both parties. I do not believe the grass is greener on the other side.

Yleiselektroniikka's corporate culture has developed clearly towards a more dynamic direction in recent years; communication is active and open, dialog with the management is good and the personnel is always considered.

At Yleiselektroniikka, you can develop our skills both through work and courses, as well as by learning from skilled colleagues. In terms of developing your skills, it is all up to you, as opportunities are available. Customer projects are also educational and typically last a long time. Some of my customers have been our customers throughout my career. My working days are varying and offer sufficient challenges. The best feeling comes when you can fulfill the customer’s wishes and are successful in your work. Luckily, there have been many such successes during my career.

All in all, I feel I am in the right place and I get to work with things I enjoy. This is how it should be!”
