Antti: Sales and Marketing Director
After 10 years of working elsewhere, Antti returned to Simeri in April 2020 as Sales and Marketing Director. Before coming back he worked at Europes largest machine rental company as Product Director. After many years , Antti longed for an innovative, diverse and flexible working environment, so returning to Simeri felt great. “Although the number of people in the company has multiplied, I can still see many of the same faces. This is a reflection of employee wellbeing. Simeri’s extraordinary spirit can also still be sensed*, Antti comments. Alatalo, whom a customer has once called a ‘whimsical character’, spends his leisure time on a boat or with his friends, family and his dog Hilma.
