Janne Sipilä, a top-level data and AI expert, will join twoday's Data and Analytics unit on 1 October as Business Development Director. Sipilä has over 20 years of experience in the ICT industry, nine of which he has spent at Microsoft. For the last four years, Sipilä has led Microsoft's data and AI sales for large enterprise customers in Finland.
Sipilä is known to many customers and consultants in the Finnish data and AI business and has been featured in various media and events.
"I took a sabbatical in early summer and intended to take a longer break from working life, but twoday and the situation in the AI business made me come back earlier. I think twoday is the best data and AI partner in the Microsoft ecosystem and I want to be part of supporting twoday's growth in the coming years. I am very excited about the opportunity to develop the business and strengthen twoday's position in the data and AI market," says Sipilä.
"I have known Janne for years and he is one of the most visible and influential figures in the Finnish data market. It's great to have Janne's expertise and experience with us and to be able to build the future story of twoday together!" says Mikko Kärki, Head of Data and Analytics at twoday.
"twoday has grown strongly both organically and through acquisitions that complete our offering. Our goal now is to accelerate our growth and increase our market share in the data and analytics in the Nordic region," Kärki continues.
twoday's major customers in data and AI include Valmet, Konecranes and Metso. We are a leading player in data and analytics and one of Microsoft's leading partners in the Nordic countries and Finland. This is evidenced by our Microsoft Solutions Partner recognition in four different areas.
