Today we are introducing our expert Yi Fang, also known as “Tapio”. Tapio is EPSE’s Solution Manager in charge of operations in China. He has been working at EPSE for 6 years so it’s about time we get to know him better!
- Who: Yi Fang, “Tapio”
- From: Finland & China
- Fun fact: According to Tapio, though his body weight is not too thin, he is quite fast at running and good at swimming!
Tapio started working at EPSE in April of 2019. He found out about the company through a friend, and was immediately intrigued and started to research more about its operations from social media. Soon after, he ended up contacting Jouni Jääskeläinen, CEO of EPSE, and his career at EPSE started. Tapio studied, lived, and worked in Finland for several years until travelling to China just before the Covid outbreak and was not allowed back for several years due to the Chinese government’s strict policies. He has thus been located there ever since.
As a Solution Manager, Tapio’s job description includes focusing on EPSE’s clients and business in China and Asia. He is actively doing sales work and searching for new clients and partners. While searching for new partners he is also maintaining and managing previous relationships. He is in charge of Chinese project management and offers technical advice and solutions for local projects. On top of all of this, Tapio also works with the Chinese governments clients and partners.
Tapio says he enjoys working for EPSE. His favorite things are the flexibility of his job and great teamwork with coworkers. This motivates him to give a hundred percent every day. We are very glad Tapio is a part of our team, and his skills and knowledge is immensely helpful and vital to EPSE’s operations. When doing business with people from different cultures, knowledge of local customs and practices is very important. Hence, Tapio’s local presence and cultural knowledge is also an asset for EPSE’s objectives in China. Six years behind and hopefully more to come!
