Mika Tarkiainen’s Expertise Over 20 years of experience in managing all sizes and kinds of SW development, testing and releasing projects with people and financial responsibility and obligation to deliver on time. Global and multi-site have been the common denominators for all the projects including teams or contributors in China, Japan, US, India, UK, France and Germany to name a few. The software developed has been included in around 2 billion mobile devices from Nokia and later on other device manufacturers. I find practical, functional and efficient solutions that bridge process gaps and overcome obstacles in complex global R&D environments without unnecessary drama so that projects can flow smoothly and focus on delivering with quality on time. I am accustomed to working directly with the most challenging customers in the business with great results. Over the years I have experienced first-hand majority of the pitfalls that exist in SW R&D and also seen the attempts to fix them and how the situation was finally solved. I create results. KEY CAREER ACHIEVEMENTS: • Improving SW R&D found error percentage before release from 30% to over 90% in own SW development projects • Defining and deploying first the Software Component Factory development model in Nokia, based on lifetime sw asset ownership which was later deployed to whole Nokia handset SW R&D (hybrid Agile+Incremental/V-model process) • Defining and deploying the 2 week cyclic release (down from 12 weeks) and integration management model to whole Nokia handset SW R&D • Major developed features in projects: GSM Phase 2/2+, Release 96-99, Release 4-11: EDGE, WCDMA, HSPA, LTE, Dual SIM (Single and Dual Radio), SRVCC, CSFB, UF-CSFB Specialties: Just Making Things Work, Finding Solutions, Technology Management, Program Management, Project Management, R&D Management, Change Management, Q&A Management, SW Process Improvement, Requirement Management, Error Management, Line Management.
