How Kalle is building a better working world

”I believe in the collaborative model. I enjoy diversity and people from different backgrounds with different skillsets; you always learn something new from a diverse group. I think it’s important to support your colleagues in working together since that is usually the winning recipe. I also respect people’s time. Feedback is the breakfast of champions – always speak your mind. Balance is also integral in everything”.  Kalle lists these as his professional focus areas.
