This week’s SaaSiest Community member of the week is Heta Pirttijärvi, SVP Product at Sievo. Heta is a true SaaSiest superstar; she’s been on the SaaSiest Podcast and on stage at SaaSiest in Malmö, sharing knowledge with the community. She’s also been a member of the SaaSiest Executive Network for four years! ⭐
We asked Heta a couple of personal questions; see her answers below:
🧩 Tell us something about yourself that we wouldn’t find on your LinkedIn profile
“Outside of work, I’m usually chasing a mix of things, like perfecting my tennis backhand or finding new hiking spots (and convincing my partner and friends it’ll be an “easy one” this time). I’m not great at sitting still, so keeping a few things in motion keeps me happy.”
💼 What’s the best part of your job?
“Being a product leader is all about variety: you get to move between tech, business, and the bigger market picture, and there’s always something new to figure out. But what I really love is seeing our product make a real difference for customers. When they tell us it helped them get concrete results, that’s the best feeling.”
🤝 What does it mean for you to be part of the SaaSiest Community?
“It’s been great to connect with people who are really sharp and genuinely passionate about SaaS and building the best products. I’ve learned a lot just from hearing how others tackle similar challenges. It’s also reassuring to see that, no matter the company or country, we’re often wrestling with the same kinds of things, and that there’s always someone willing to share their experience.”
Thanks, Heta, for being part of the SaaSiest Community 🩷
