A few words from a colleague

“I’ve been with Tele2 IoT for 8 years now — I started my career in finance as a CFO Management Trainee and worked as a Finance Controller before the connected world of IoT completely captured my attention. I joined Tele2 IoT as a Sales Developer and have loved every moment since. IoT is everywhere around us, and being part of making the world more connected is something that never gets old. I’m looking for a like-minded colleague to join our SDR team and share in that same passion.”
Laura Salmina, SDR
