Tommi Kässi, Vice President, Sales, Postal Services, has a 7-year career path at Posti, which is being built into a modern delivery and fulfilment company. Tommi’s journey has revolved from strategy and IT management to business management and sales. Tommi encourages people to be open to new challenges that enable a wide range of career paths.
The world of logistics opens up
In 2017, Tommi jumped into the world of logistics. His starting point at Posti was the Parcel Services business’ strategy team, which provided a wide-ranging orientation to our operations. Tasks included doubling the number of parcel lockers to a thousand, while developing the technology of the parcel lockers into its current form.
Tommi became the IT Director of the Parcel, & eCommerce, Freight and Transval businesses at a time when Posti's IT was in the midst of changes, as the goal was to improve cooperation between business and IT. He warmly recommends IT jobs to anyone who wants to grow professionally.
In Posti's business, however, Tommi likes the definitive: "It's interesting when the items Posti moves are physical products whose journey can be followed concretely. I often visit our operations to see how our customers' products move and how our entire process works. Understanding the big picture is also enhanced by our role as a consumer of our services."
