Is someone trying to sell me irrelevant services again? Is it a scammer stealing my money? Or another silent phone call that collects my data for resale? Or do they call from the day care?

My team grew the revenues from 24M€ in 2015 to 36.2M€ in 2019. Recurring service revenues were doubled during 2015-2018, by shifting the offering and capabilities from standalone products to comprehensive IT Outsourcing Services and IT Management as a Service. Customer NPS shifted from -19 in 2015 to +38 in 2018, yet with M&A related hick-up’s it was temporarily on the decline but the NPS has made a strong recovery in 2019. The past operating income has included several one-off’s (sale of property, sanctions, severances etc.) yet finally the company was tracking solid 5% operating income for the year 2019. The results were achieved by a 180-degree strategic, operational and cultural overhaul of the company, and foremost with the power of the amazing ‘MPY Huippujengi’ team.
