A lot of people joined us in the very early stages from steady jobs and gave us their 110% trust and commitment, even though we could only promise next month's salary. I could not have made it this far without Stefan, Tanja, Lassi, and Tuija. They master all the other competence areas where I am... well... not so good. Things like remembering something longer than 4 hours and a bunch of other really important things. Thanks and sorry \u2764\ufe0f<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"3\">The arrangement we had regarding CEO duties worked fine, but it was the classic situation of burning the candle from both ends, and eventually that does not end well... not for me or the company. Luckily, there\u2019s now quite a bit of candle left, and I think it\u2019s a green momentum candle.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"4\">The process of finding a new CEO was a targeted headhunting effort for us. The next captain has been on our radar for two years, and now all the pieces of the puzzle have finally fallen into the right places. I\u2019m happy to announce that \u2013 drum roll \u2013 Rami Rantala will be the CEO of WeAre starting from August 30, 2021.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"5\">I\u2019m not disappearing anywhere and will stay to help until I\u2019m not needed anymore. I\u2019m really excited and happy about this, and Rami is exactly what we were looking for: he understands our technical people, our business, and shares the same core values as WeAre.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d958e38 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d958e38\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Rami Rantala: \"The longest recruitment process I have ever been involved in\"<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-09f30f8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"09f30f8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/weare.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/rami_rantala4-1024x576.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1917\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/weare.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/rami_rantala4-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/weare.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/rami_rantala4-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/weare.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/rami_rantala4-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/weare.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/rami_rantala4-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/weare.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/rami_rantala4-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/weare.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/rami_rantala4.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8f3703f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8f3703f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p data-path-to-node=\"2\">\"This is the longest recruitment process I have ever been involved in. It started over two years ago, and since then we have had several discussions with board members of WeAre.\"<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"3\">I have worked in software development for over 20 years, most of it hands-on and as a team or technical lead. My recent assignments have been at Paf, Zalando, and Alma Media.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"4\">The number one reason for me joining the company is the values WeAre has. I share these values completely. We are not driven only by financial figures; we are driven by professionalism, good spirit, respect, and working together with our customers, partners, and even competitors. We believe in good work.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"5\">There is no doubt that this is a big jump for me, and I\u2019m sure I need to learn a lot and grow together with WeAre. I have never been after titles, and I have never planned my career. I have chased interesting and challenging things with value, and this is by far the biggest challenge for me so far. The trust I\u2019ve received makes me humble.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"6\">I\u2019m really looking forward to meeting everyone we work with and am excited about the things we can deliver in the future to our customers. I\u2019m not going to try to replace Henri; instead, I will bring my style and personality, and I\u2019m sure we will have good times in the future as well.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fffcae8 elementor-share-buttons--skin-flat elementor-share-buttons--color-custom elementor-share-buttons--view-icon-text elementor-share-buttons--shape-square elementor-grid-0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-share-buttons\" data-id=\"fffcae8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"share-buttons.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-grid\" role=\"list\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-grid-item\" role=\"listitem\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-share-btn elementor-share-btn_facebook\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-label=\"Share on facebook\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-share-btn__icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"fab fa-facebook\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-share-btn__text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-share-btn__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFacebook\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-grid-item\" role=\"listitem\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-share-btn elementor-share-btn_twitter\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-label=\"Share on twitter\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-share-btn__icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"fab fa-twitter\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-share-btn__text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-share-btn__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTwitter\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-grid-item\" role=\"listitem\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-share-btn elementor-share-btn_linkedin\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-label=\"Share on linkedin\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-share-btn__icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"fab fa-linkedin\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-share-btn__text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-share-btn__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLinkedIn\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-51da585 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"51da585\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c66de6e e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"c66de6e\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-551de1d elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"551de1d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WeAre Solutions Oy on nimitt\u00e4nyt Rami Rantalan yhti\u00f6n uudeksi toimitusjohtajaksi 30.8.2021 alkaen.
