- Monty Program Ab
Chief Operating Officer
Monty Program was founded by Michael "Monty" Widenius, the creator of MySQL. In addition to Monty himself it employed 3 out of 4 former MySQL AB architects and a number of senior developers. It provides advanced MariaDB (and MySQL) services like feature or API development, fixing complex bugs, code review, storage engine certification.
As the first COO of this young company I was responsible for developing basic processes like organizing teams and weekly meetings, managing sales team, community team and some engineering projects. In this position I was also able to influence the direction of the general MySQL community post Oracle acquisition, which has strategic importance to Monty Program itself.

Technical skills
Partly due to my background as a trainer at Tieturi and partly out of personal interest
I consider myself having a very broad knowledge of many different programming languages
and technologies. I consider it one of my strengths to explain technical issues to non-technical people,
like a customer or manager, and to see wholes and purposes arising out of technical details.
Conversely, having worked as a manager my strongest asset has been my deep understanding of the
technical details of the projects I'm managing.
