Jaakkoo-Taara has strengthened its sales team with a Swedish addition, as Andreas Sjögren has started in a new role as Sales Manager Nordics. In his position, Sjögren will focus on Nordic sales.
– I will primarily work with customers outside Finland. Before Jaakkoo Taara I have worked 6 years as Key Account Manager at MM Eson Pac in Sweden, Sjögren tells.
Sjögren, who brings Nordic insight and expertise, is a welcome addition to Jaakkoo-Taara’s team. He is excited to work at a Finnish company and take part in a new culture.
– It feels like a bit of an adventure to join a company outside Sweden. Meet new people and take part in a new culture and of course learn a new language. Jaakkoo Taara seems like a stable company with a good reputation and long experience within the Pharma Healthcare segment. The segment of customers are the same as I am used to from before, Sjögren tells.
Sjögren has extensive experience in the pharmaceutical industry, which adds significant value to the sales team. He’s excited to have a chance to spread awareness about Jaakkoo-Taara to Sweden and Norway.
– We all know that it’s no quick fix to attract new customers within the segment. It requires a marathon mind set rather than a sprint mind set. Initially it will be interesting to see the level of awareness in Sweden and Norway around Jaakkoo Taara as a company. My main goal to start with is of course to get to know Jaakkoo Taara as a company, understand the culture and also understand which strengths we have that makes us interesting for new customers, Sjögren says.
Having only recently started in his role, Sjögren thanks the Jaakkoo-Taara team for the warm welcome, and Jaakkoo-Taara likewise welcomes Sjögren to the work community.
– We are very pleased to have gained a friendly colleague with strong industry knowledge. We hope Andreas will enjoy working with us for a long time, say Sjögren’s new colleagues.
