Matti Karell is a seasoned professional of leading the sales of various analytics, data and SaaS applications, as well as international responsibilities related to developing partnership channels.

Drawn back to Solita’s culture and growth

Matti Karell has worked at Solita previously and is making his return after 12 years. During this time, the company has hired over a thousand new employees and now employs over 1,500 specialists in six countries.

“It’s been great to follow Solita’s journey of growth into an international corporation without them losing the culture of caring and trust.

Accelerating enterprise-level data projects

“This was an easy position to get excited about, because Solita is a pioneer in its industry, and we can genuinely help companies get more out of their data development investments faster – from the first day onwards. The Agile Data Engine package has versatile tools and methods for automating data operations, not to mention strengthening the data culture,” says Karell.

The Agile Data Engine developed by Solita is a unique automated DataOps platform for the continuous development and operation of cloud data warehouses.
