"We have strong opportunities to influence our own work”

During his ten-year career at Abloy, Matti Hirvonen has worked in several different roles and accumulated pleasant memories from training trips in Asia.

After graduating from the University of Oulu from the degree program in telecommunications engineering in 2009, Matti worked as a researcher at the VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland for a couple of years. His wish to return to his home region of North Karelia came true when he found an open position as a software specialist at Abloy. Thus began a journey of over ten years at Abloy, which has included various roles and responsibilities. Currently, Matti works as a service owner for PULSE expert services.

Versitile work opportunities and motivating tasks

"I have worked at Abloy as a software specialist, a specialist in customer solutions, and as a product manager for CLIQ software, and I have been very satisfied with my experiences. For example, some of my fondest memories have been training trips to Asia, to Hong Kong, Singapore, and India, with very good colleagues," Matti says.

Over the years, Matti has had the opportunity to work with PULSE and CLIQ locking solutions and influence their development. He finds this aspect highly motivating. He is interested in working with evolving products and directly influencing their functionality.

A balanced relationship between work and leisure is also a great benefit. "On quieter days, you can finish work earlier and go skiing, for example," says Matti.

Nowadays, Matti's free time is largely spent with his family, but it also includes hobbies. Matti is an avid sports fan and actively follows local clubs. Additionally, he enjoys skiing, jogging, and cycling in the nature of Joensuu."
