Meet the MagiMakers

Veronica Theander started working as Area Sales Manager in 2016. Today she is leading a team consisting of six colleagues as Sales Manager for MEP customers in Sweden.

“I have loved working at MagiCAD Group since day one. No days are the same, but no matter what the working day looks like, the biggest benefit of my job is that I can be involved in creating something good. When in contact with customers, it is all about continuously finding good solutions in order to create the best possible conditions for them when designing with MagiCAD.

When it comes to my colleagues and my team, I have the very best! Everyone says so and for me it is 100% true. Being surrounded by enterprising, smart and forward-thinking colleagues, both Sweden and internationally, who work according to our key values “stay curious” and “be ahead of the game” when I myself am passionate about development is what makes me love to go to work every day.”

Florian Bach joined MagiCAD in 2020 as a Technical Consulting Engineer. He takes care of all technical issues of the customers, e.g. through consulting services, trainings and technical support. Florian also supports the sales team with technical presentations and tests the latest MagiCAD versions. Florian has 2 dogs and lives near Koblenz and the Westerwald, Germany.

“I greatly appreciate the high degree of freedom and personal responsibility at work and the many exciting challenges in my daily work. No one day is like the other and through my diverse tasks I always learn something new. What also motivates me at work is seeing how our customers succeed on a daily basis with our software.

Here we have a common goal and everybody is contributing to it. There`s a mutual trust, not just only between the colleagues in my team, but also when it comes to the managers. At MagiCAD “Grow together” is not just a phrase, it`s something everybody is living up to! My on-boarding at MagiCAD was in the middle of a worldwide pandemic and seeing my colleagues in person was not possible until recently. Despite of it, it was an awesome experience with everyone willing to help. I think these are the times where a throughout positive company culture really shines.”

I’m Sofia Zell and I have worked at MagiCAD since November 2020 from our Stockholm office. I’m working as Account Manager with a focus on the Construction Solution, Gsite, for the Swedish market.

“I’m very content in my role and since Gsite is relatively new to the Swedish market, I get to see the software grow, which is incredibly exciting!

My working days and tasks vary. I work with colleagues from all over the world and I especially enjoy the variety of cultures and languages.

In our Stockholm office, we have a very family-like atmosphere even though we have different roles and tasks, it is always possible to get help when needed. The family-like atmosphere is also something that you can see throughout the entire organization, which is completely in line with our core value “Grow together”.”

Josefina Bergström is our Sales coordinator in Sweden.

“My journey with MagiCAD, as a Sales Coordinator in the Gothenburg office, started pretty much at the same time as a particular epidemic spread all over the world. Maybe because of the unpredictable situation that took place during my onboarding I was in an early stage able to see how the core values “be ahead of the game” and “grow together” really affect our everyday work. It was great to see how everyone came together from all different departments and got involved in predicting future challenges and finding solutions in order to keep delivering up to customers’ expectations and beyond. Since my role as a Sales Coordinator involves a various mix of tasks, I have learned a LOT since I came to MagiCAD which is one of the best parts with my work. It’s motivating to see the high level of knowledge and ambition around my colleagues. Whatever the question may be, I can always rely on getting the best possible answer.”

Torsten Kaufmann is our Sales Engineer for the DACH region.

“I started at MagiCAD in November 2019 as Sales Engineer for the DACH region. Together with my colleagues we are continuing to develop and expand MagiCAD’s business. The business is always different every day and that is very rewarding, because you never get bored and you always stay curious about what the next day will bring. Curiosity is also one of the reasons why I have joined MagiCAD. On the one hand, MEP is a completely new business for me and on the other, there are the customers – not just resellers with whom I have worked with earlier. The customer needs are also different from one appointment to the other. This brings a lot of joy to me.

The colleagues are all very helpful, even though we work in different countries. This is also a thing I find very exemplary at MagiCAD. Sometimes you also get different perspectives and ideas on how to advance the business.

We are on a good path and we work hard on it!”

Jaana Ruottu is working as Administrative Coordinator in MagiCAD’s Turku office.

What motivates you at work?
“I am motivated by the breadth and variety of my job description, interesting tasks, the ability to communicate in foreign languages every day and the self-direction of our team.”

How is MagiCAD Group different from other companies?
“MagiCAD Group differs from my previous work places as it is an agile, low-hierarchical organization, where the employer has confidence and trust in the professional skills and motivation of the employees to work for the company. Working conditions as well as equipment and tools I’m using also differ from previous places.”

Could you describe your usual work day?
“My usual work day involves as many financial management tasks as the physical delivery of our product to our customers. In addition, we have nice breaks with co-workers and these I enjoy a lot :)”

What is the best part of your work?
“The best part of my job is having really nice colleagues across the teams, strong internationality of the company (English is in daily use, both at work and at the coffee table), a nice working environment and working atmosphere, and a motivating job description and responsibilities within my role.”

How MagiCAD Group’s values affect to your everyday work?
“Perhaps the value of Grow Together for the MagiCAD Group is closest to my heart, because the good team spirit within the company, teamwork and collaboration with my colleagues and relaxed and liberated working atmosphere carry the company far. I find it important that one enjoys his or her own work and it is nice to come to work in the mornings. The strong indication of this is that even though it is possible to flexibly work remotely, I have not considered any remote days so far, but as a social type I prefer to work at the Turku office instead of the home office.”

Jani Leppäniemi is working as Software Engineer in Product Data Solutions.

“I joined the company in the beginning of 2019. I’m working in the Product Data Solutions team at our Rauma office. My daily work consists mainly of various project management and software development tasks.

It’s been a smooth start and I appreciate the flexibility with things like remote working possibilities. This is a big thing for me since I have a bit longer commute to work. The company also has a relaxed atmosphere and the people really rock! I enjoy learning new things and this job really offers many opportunities to stay curious.”

Tia Jokinen is working as Marketing Campaigns and Graphic Design Specialist at marketing team.

“The best parts of my work are creativity, versatility, learning of new things and of course the best colleagues. I love that every day is different and you always learn something new. I have a creative background in graphic design and communication so for me it is super interesting to work with engineers and software developers. We see things from many different angles and that’s how we learn from each other a lot – every single day.

In an extremely positive way, MagiCAD Group is very different from the other companies. It is a very international company. We have 170 employees and yet, 20 different nationalities! Still, we have a very cosy, family like feeling where people truly trust and support each other.”

Samuli Kaikkonen is working as Technical Support Engineer at Technical Services team.

“I joined the company four years ago and I’m working in our Rauma office. The best thing about my work is that we have very good team spirit and feeling of togetherness here. It’s nice to come to work every day as we move forward together towards common goals. We help each other without hesitation whenever there are challenges, that’s why great results achieved at work.

What makes my work also interesting is that I have the possibility to work with people from different countries and cultures, both within the company and with outside partners and interest groups. My daily work is rather versatile as it consists of parts related to customer service and interacting with them, but also of group and independent work related to testing, investigating and developing MagiCAD software, ways of working and doing things, as well as customer related work. One of the biggest motivators for me is that my work is challenging at a level that suits me best and I can freely influence and determine how much challenges I want to have.

From our company values, “grow together” is very meaningful for me as we truly work here towards our common goals as a big family, and within that, I always do my best whether it is my own or any other colleague’s project or task. I feel very proud of working here.”

Lisa Liu is working for MagiCAD sales (as well as Cubicost sales) at our sister company Glodon International in Singapore.

What motivates you at work?
“I would say the software is great, especially the modelling tools, such as crossing, connections etc. I enjoy meeting customers at all different levels. Some of them even become friends which is a great thing and really motivates me to provide the best service and value for them. I really enjoy and am motivated by learning new things as MEP is a new field for me and I also enjoy dealing with our colleagues in other markets like Finland.”

How is MagiCAD different than other companies?
“Due to the time difference I really welcome the efficiency in getting back to me. I enjoy the team work atmosphere that my colleagues bring from Finland. We work hard when we are in Singapore, but I enjoy that we have a common goal and working with international colleagues.”

What is the best part of your work?
“I get to deal with a fantastic product and I enjoy meeting new people and helping them solve their problems.”

Tomi Harju is one of our new Software Testing Engineers in Rauma.

What motivates you at work?
“As a testing engineer I help developers with creating new features and fixing issues. It is motivating to see that the feedback that comes from our testing team is taken into the product development to make our software even better.”

Can you describe a usual work day?
“My usual work day consists of checking tasks accompanied with a nice cup of cappuccino. From time to time, I get away from my desk to flex my upper body and play a billiard game with colleagues.”

What is the best part of your work?
“It’s definitely freedom to schedule my own work and the possibility to work remotely. The work atmosphere at MagiCAD is spectacular. There’s lots of laughter in one day.”

Diego Tresoldi is the newest member of our Italian team. He is responsible for MagiCAD sales and customer relationships in Northern Italy. Diego has more than 15 years of experience in managing and sales in the publishing business. Attracted by new technologies and innovative ideas, he now meets the challenge of working for an IT company with great enthusiasm and commitment.

“Interest in Italy towards BIM is increasing rapidly. More and more, engineering firms are evaluating its use. MagiCAD for Revit also, has been a great success. Customers have found enormous immediate benefits in MagiCAD and this has made Italy a strategic country for MagiCAD. In Italy, we have a good predisposition and market factors for becoming the leading provider for MEP design solutions.”

Andreas Flyborg is our Area Manager for Scandinavia serving our manufacturer customers. He worked at MagiCAD Group in customer services for 4 years before joining the sales team 9 months ago.

“I love working at our Gothenburg office. Colleagues are great. I also love that we are so international. In my team alone, BIM services for manufacturers, there’s four of us; Juha-Matti from Finland, Ina from Germany, Ruggero from Italy and me from Sweden. Four people from four different countries. MagiCAD is a multi-national company and we learn so much from each other.”

Taina Parm moved to Turku six years ago after having lived her whole life in the capital area. Though, it was only after starting working at MagiCAD as Sales Services Coordinator when Turku truly became her new home town.

“I am happy to start my work days with a cup of coffee and laid-back but extremely professional colleagues from all around the globe who are always up for the challenge. Working atmosphere is encouraging and motivating and we also celebrate success together.

I appreciate my colleagues’ way to stay curious and take part in the AfterWork Yoga class that I get to teach them every now and then in Turku, Espoo and Rauma offices. With possibility to improve one’s skills by relevant courses and training and having the needed work equipment it is easy to be ahead of the game!”
