Client Interview Testimonial: Profilence

Sami Utriainen, CEO and Co-founder of Profilence:

“Our collaboration started with Petri as our strategic advisor. The first initiative we worked on together was to create a strategy for Profilence. We defined clear roles and responsibilities for the organization, and re-defined the leadership team. Under Petri’s guidance, we began doing things the right way.

At the same time, Profilence was also considering how to handle HR. We were still weighing whether to outsource HR services or manage them internally. Thanks to a successful coincidence, we were able to bring on both an in-house HR specialist and Kaisa Seppälä from Notarec as an advisor. Internally, we manage the daily HR tasks, while Kaisa supports us in a strategic role, teaching and coaching us in the field of HR.

The most recent addition from HTGP is Ville Ilves as an senior advisor. Ville has a strong background in the automotive industry, knows the field well, and is heavily involved in sales. Thanks to Ville, we successfully recruited two new salespeople in Japan and the USA.

I have nothing but positive things to say about the collaboration with HTGP. I’m highly satisfied with everything: invoicing is simple and efficient through HTGP, and their advisors have brought significant expertise to Profilence. Ville has been invaluable in the automotive sector, and Petri has provided strategic insights as chairman of our advisory board. Petri guided us in our latest investment round. Notarec, in turn, has taught us what comprehensive HR truly is and how it benefits the company.”

“Many growth companies will surely embrace the expertise and offerings HTGP brings to the table!”
