About Joni
I am a senior Project and Service Manager with a strong technical background and broad experience in leading system implementation projects in the energy and technology sectors. I have managed large projects involving smart meters, data management systems (MDM), enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, and nationwide market platforms (Datahub).
Throughout my career, I have been responsible for projects from initial planning through delivery and ongoing operation. This includes scheduling, budgeting, supplier coordination, testing, and go-live activities. After project go-live, I often take responsibility for the continued development and day-to-day management of systems and processes to ensure they remain reliable, effective, and aligned with business needs.
I work closely with business stakeholders, technical teams, and external partners to ensure shared understanding and smooth cooperation. My approach emphasizes clear planning, practical problem-solving, and open communication to deliver predictable results and long-term value.
