"The company has done impressive work and succeeded in turning around its profitability – and this work continues. Within the Retail & Commerce segment, I see strong potential to build success on deep industry expertise and modern, cloud-based solutions that support business transformation,"  says Petteri Ahonen, the newly appointed EVP of the Retail & Commerce segment.
