Petri Lehmus started as the new CEO of Mearra on the 15th of May. The previous CEO and one of the founders, Juha Niemi, will continue developing and steering the operations from the COO position in close collaboration with Petri. Petri has wide experience in the international field of building software services and a proven track record of developing client experience and growing fruitful partnerships in digital development.
Before joining Mearra, Petri Lehmus worked as the vice president for professional services at Qt Company – so in the future, Mearra and all its clients will benefit from Lehmus’ know-how together with Juha’s long and thorough experience of Mearra. For the past nine months, Petri was a member of the Mearra’s board, so already, at this point, he has a good understanding of what Mearra is about and where the potential is.
“Mearra has a lot of talented people, and by further combining these into a complete offering, we will be able to utilize all the competencies for our clients fully. We will build a more complete offering, concepts, and services for customers. This will, in the near future, benefit the customers in getting complete solutions and project deliveries from Mearra; faster time to market, and cost savings” Petri states.
On top of talented people, Mearra is known for its values and how we also do our best to “walk the talk.” When Petri was introducing himself to Mearra people, he was open about his personal values. Mearra people were delighted to learn that Petri not only has wide experience and a lot to give to commercial success but that his values are greatly similar to Mearra’s values.
”Creating and building modern digital solutions requires a lot of different competencies and good cooperation between customers, Mearra people, and partners. Working together is the key to success”, says Petri.
Working together is one that resonates with Mearra people as well - so in the future, we aim to work closely together not only with our colleagues but also with our clients.
