Antti Salminen
Experienced project and program manager
Business consulting, Procurement and tenders,
Development of digital services
I am an analytical and results-oriented project professional with several years of practical experience in various IT and business processes, project and program management, and consulting. My strengths are problem-solving skills and managing people, as well as managing large entities.
I have successfully led large and complex projects such as:
- Development and launch of the eCommerce marketplace
- Development and launch of modern financial services (including online banking)
- RFI and RFP processes
The projects have required a strong management of the multi-vendor environment and changes and risks, as well as an understanding of the content.
Working as a consultant with several different clients has developed me to understand the needs and goals of different businesses.
My goal is to ensure the realization of business goals throughout the project life cycle, from the idea and selection of partners to the success of operational activities.
I am an accomplished project management and IT service management professional. I have more than 20 years of experience in various ICT projects, organizational change projects, and service management processes (ITIL) and reporting.
I have worked as a project manager on both large-scale international IT outsourcing projects and technical projects, and I am able to communicate and operate effectively at all levels of the organization. In addition, I have served as a leader in multicultural teams, and in my own experience leading virtual teams.
I am purposeful and take care of my responsibilities. When I see areas for improvement, I am proactive, I study the situation and make informed decisions, and I take care of things to the end. It’s natural for me to have a people-centered approach, and to form teams and set a common goal.
