Seeing the Bigger Picture

What sets Timo apart is his natural interest in the bigger picture. Even early in his sales career, he was eager to understand how different parts of the business connect. His move into leadership was driven by a desire to shape culture, strategy, and collaboration across departments.

​He shares how he made the bold decision to relocate with his young family, the role trust plays in leadership, and why no real transformation happens without a committed team.

✔ How to lead through uncertainty and create clarity in times of change

✔ What makes a great sales leader vs. a great general manager
