Cloudworks continues its expansions in the Nordics with the establishment of a new Finnish branch, led by Henri Talvitie. With his extensive experience and strong commitment, Henri will build up Cloudworks Finland and help Finnish companies secure a stronger digital future through Identity and Access Management (IAM) solutions.

Henri Talvitie as Country Manager for Cloudworks Finland

We are proud to announce that Cloudworks is expanding to Finland, with Henri Talvitie as the new Country Manager.

Henri brings deep industry expertise and a thorough understanding of the Finnish market. His enthusiasm for the role is clear:

I am excited to bring Cloudworks’ unique approach to IAM to the Finnish market. Our goal is to create value for Finnish organizations by offering services that blend extensive technical expertise with a comprehensive understanding of customer needs. We will provide tailored advisory services and solutions that address the specific challenges Finnish companies face.

Alexander Friedensburg, Managing Director of Cloudworks, highlights why Henri is the perfect fit to lead the company’s expansion in Finland:

– I can’t think of a better candidate than Henri to head our efforts in Finland. He is a successful and visionary entrepreneur with extensive experience in IAM. Throughout his career, he has achieved impressive sales results, and – perhaps most importantly – he is highly motivated to ensure the success of Cloudworks Finland, Alexander says enthusiastically.

Local and specialized expertise in Finland

The expansion into Finland builds on Cloudworks' solid experience from Norway, Denmark, and Sweden. Cloudworks Finland will offer vendor-agnostic IAM services, ranging from consulting and implementation to Managed Services – tailored to meet the specific needs of Finnish organizations.

Henri Talvitie elaborates:

Our vision is for Cloudworks Finland to become the country’s leading IAM expert. There is a clear demand for a local specialist who can deliver a comprehensive range of services, including Zero Trust architecture, identity and access management, privileged access control, and automation. Our goal is to help Finnish companies navigate an increasingly complex digital landscape while building a secure and efficient infrastructure.

Building a strong team as the foundation for success

A key part of the strategy for Cloudworks Finland is assembling a highly skilled team that can address the diverse needs of Finnish companies.

Henri Talvitie emphasizes the importance of recruiting the right people:

– My goal is to build a team of skilled, passionate, and customer-focused consultants. We aim to deliver the best IAM services on the market while fostering a fun and engaging work environment. I am convinced that this is the key to success – both for us and for our customers.

10 years as a pure-play IAM specialist in the Nordics

The expansion into Finland marks a significant milestone, highlighting how Cloudworks has evolved into the leading IAM expert in the Nordics in just 10 years.

Alexander Friedensburg reflects on Cloudworks' journey, starting in Norway in 2015 to its expansion into Finland 10 years later.

Alexander Friedensburg

This is an incredibly exciting time for Cloudworks. When we started nearly 10 years ago in Norway, we could not have imagined that we would one day be represented across much of the Nordics. The development of our professional community across Norway, Sweden, and Denmark has exceeded all expectations. It has been an inspiring journey.

With our establishment in Finland, we are cementing our position as the leading pure-play IAM specialist in the Nordics – a journey driven by talented people, strong collaboration, and a shared dedication to IAM.

A shared Cloudworks culture across borders

Cloudworks is built on a strong culture of collaboration, operating as One Cloudworks, where consultants and administrative teams work closely together across national borders. This shared culture strengthens our ability to exchange knowledge and experiences, ensuring the best solutions for our customers.

Alexander Friedensburg explains:

– One Cloudworks represents unity, collaboration, and knowledge sharing across all the countries in which we operate. We are a strong professional community, independent of geography. This ensures that our customers always have access to the most experienced IAM advisors in the Nordics.

Our culture is rooted in a passion for IAM, as well as mutual respect, warmth, and a strong sense of community. Together, we are stronger – supporting each other and our customers every step of the way.

IAM as a strategic priority

A robust IAM solution is critical in today's digital environment. Companies are facing increasingly sophisticated cyber threats and a growing number of regulations, making security and data protection more important than ever. IAM

Henri Talvitie concludes:

IAM is no longer just a technical necessity – it is a strategic priority for companies looking to protect their data and comply with ever-evolving regulations.

We help organizations establish a strong foundation to guard against cyber threats, minimize the risk of unauthorized access, and ensure a streamlined and efficient user experience. We support the entire IAM process: From selecting the right IAM solution to advisory, implementation and Managed Services.
