April 18, 2024

In this penultimate episode of Season 5, we were delighted to welcome seasoned digital leader, Mikko Mantila , Co-Founder and CEO of IONA – an award-winning agency who specialises in next-generation eCommerce.

Founded in 2019,  IONA has gone on to experience rapid growth, with studios now in Helsinki, London, and Davao City in The Philippines. And, with a client base that continues to expand across the Nordics and the UK, Mikko has most recently experienced success with notable involvement in the MACH Alliance’s C-suite advisory board.

The episode delves into IONA’s background, pioneering the adoption of headless technology, as well as a focus on the evolution of composable strategies over their first 5 years in business.

In our chat, Mikko reflects on the ‘hype’ surrounding the concept and the necessity for businesses to consider its implications carefully, emphasising the importance of organisational readiness, cultural alignment, and clear communication of expected benefits and ROI.

The conversation deep dives into the complexities and realities of embracing composability in today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, offering valuable insights and guidance for businesses navigating this transformative journey.
