We are delighted to share news of an appointment that strengthens Climecon’s expertise and accelerates our product development toward smarter and more innovative solutions. Ville Wallendahr takes the lead as the company’s Chief Technology Officer, and Dima Pukki transitions from Sales Manager to Product Manager for Professional Kitchen Solutions. Both appointments support our growth and reinforce our position as a responsible forerunner in the industry.

“Ville will become a key force as CTO in ensuring that we remain at the forefront of technological development in our field. At the same time, Dima’s appointment is a great example of how we at Climecon want to offer our professionals opportunities to grow and advance in their careers. We are driven by ambition and the courage to take the role of a forerunner. These appointments take us exactly in that direction,” comments CEO Tommi Uksila.

Chief technology officer – Technology takes a central role in our strategy

Ville has been part of Climecon since 2016, starting as Product Manager for the professional kitchen business. He now steps into the role of CTO, where he will be responsible for product development, research, and the company’s technological direction.

At Climecon, Ville is known as a “walking knowledge bank,” someone you can turn to for anything—from professional kitchen ventilation to a quick IT tip. Ville describes himself as a pioneering type of person, motivated by a genuine passion for future solutions in the construction industry.

A sales professional’s leap: Dima Pukki becomes a product manager

Dima will take responsibility for the entire professional kitchen business, both in Finland and internationally. His more than 10 years of experience in various sales roles is reflected in his energetic, hands-on approach. He quickly and confidently took on the responsibilities of Sales Manager, earning a trusted position both within the team and in the industry. Dima is positive, adaptable, and thrives in diverse environments, and having a strong “can‑do” attitude is important to him.

Warm congratulations to both!
