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.
