Our People
We are passionate about tomorrow's technology.
The Nordic home of tech talent
In Innofactor we have a Nordic professional community, which is made up from variety of backgrounds, expertise and experience. We develop ourselves by learning from others and by sharing the knowledge and ideas within our professional network. We want you to build your career within Innofactor and we support that by encouraging internal movement and collaboration across Nordics. We are proud of what we do for our customers and want to showcase that to others.
Without our people we wouldn't be here today. We have grown via acquisitions and through uniting professionals from Nordic countries under the same umbrella. Our employees are eager to learn, which is visible in the number of Most Valuable Professionals (MVPs) and number of professional certificates our employees hold. With us you join the community of world class experts.
Our teams want to have fun and create friendships that last for life. We support free-time activities and networking in the form of events and hobby clubs. We embrace the Nordic network through focused virtual teams and common leaning activities via Innofactor Academy.
Henri Hietala, Solution Architect
After completing my Engineering studies, I met couple of Innofactor employees in a training course and decided to join Innofactor as a full-stack developer. I had previous experience from a smaller software company and as freelancer. After few years my role started to evolve towards Solution Architect role. That role felt like the best match for me, as I get a possibility to work very closely with the customers, gain deeper understanding of their industries and technologies, and solve their critical business challenges.
Just recently I moved to newly formed New Tech team. My team is responsible for studying and testing newest technological solutions with existing and potential new customers. Through small proof-of-concept projects we are aiming to scale the solutions for larger projects.
During my free time I'm a passionate golf player. When golfing, as well as working at Innofactor, I like to challenge myself to exceed my goals and reach even better results. During the past five years I have always got new and exciting responsibilities. I feel that we have a big diversity of projects to choose from, varying from IoT to machine learning.
P.s. We have a frisbeegolf field at our Espoo Campus, where I'm currently holding the record – You are welcome to challenge me there!
Kaisa Hangasluoma, Consultant, Microsoft Dynamics 365
I started my Innofactor career in August 2017 as Solution Consultant and I'm mainly working in implementation and further development projects of Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations and Dynamics AX. In addition, I have got a chance to get familiar with the new HR system, Dynamics 365 for Talent. We are using the Dynamics HR ourselves, which gives us a unique opportunity to gain deep understanding of the system. Before joining Innofactor, I was working for an ERP customer company and for me, it's been interesting to see the projects from a different perspective. My daily work consists of planning, designing, defining and testing ERP solutions for a variety of customer needs and consulting customers in ERP usage.
In Innofactor, I'm privileged to work with an amazing and extremely skilled team and in close contact with the customers. As a consultant you need to develop your own skills all the time and even in this short time that I have spent with Innofactor, I have learned a great deal. Project work suits me very well, as there is lot of variety and as the projects progress, you can see the results of your work and you get a feeling of constantly moving forward.
As a mother of a small child, I only have limited time for hobbies, but in my free time, I mostly enjoy travelling. With my team, we spend time together also outside of work in different activities, e.g. once we tried curling. I have also participated in Innofactor Fun Club activities (Fun Club = Innofactor hobby club).
Martin Busk Jensen, Consultant, Business Intelligence
I joined Innofactor via trainee program, after which I was hired for a Consultant role. Few years later I was promoted to Senior Consultant role and in 2018 I started as a Team leader for Business Intelligence team.
I work mainly with Big Data and Analytics. I'm excited to see how one can gain deep understanding of a company or business line via data analytics. The most motivating part of this role is to get change to work very closely with customers and to learn about wide variety of different businesses: I work for instance with real estate, banking and local municipalities, which are all very different. I also like my new role as a team leader: I believe that we can get the best results from teams by offering everyone projects where they can learn and grow with their own speed.
On my spare time I play acoustic guitar in our local company band. One of my personal highlights from Innofactor: we have every year a company event, InSpirit, where all the employees from Nordic Countries are invited to Innofactor Espoo Campus. Two years ago, I found myself standing in front of hundreds of my colleagues, playing in the company party. The response we got from the audience was very inspirational: people were encouraging us by jumping around and dancing. It was such a great experience that I want to go back and do it again this year!
Vesa Nopanen, Principal consultant, Microsoft Office 365
I have worked several years as a Senior Consultant and before that I have a long history in ICT sector. In my current role in New Business unit, I coach customers to get the most out from the possibilities with Office 365. In my day to day work Microsoft Teams and modern tools are a significant part of managing my work and collaborating with my colleagues. As part of my role, I'm active in social media and join conversations related to my interest and expertise areas. I also actively share what we are doing at Innofactor through blogging and tweeting. My dearest hobby is photographing, which I spend time with as often as possible. As in photo shooting, as consultant you need be able to consider several perspectives and see the world both from your side, but also from the customers side.
The best parts of my current role are the energetic colleagues and customers I get to work with. Interacting with different people gives me energy and encourages to innovate new ways of using modern collaboration tools. In our context it's not so relevant where you are physically located or where you live, we have very flexible working culture and most things you are do outside of the office. At the same time with us you don't need feel like you work alone, we share learnings with each other's, we collaborate and network across the company and with peers in other companies – we say: "sharing is caring".
