I’ve worked with Ilmo at Facebook. Ilmo was expert in the research team, while I joined as a fresh new grad working on a company level tracking survey. He was always friendly when I asked him for insights and suggestions. His work was rigorous in research and unconventional in communication style. It opened my eyes. In addition to research expertise, he also shared with my his perspective on how to be a good researcher and navigate my career. I followed his path even after he left Facebook, as a guiding post for myself.
Reading this website brings back so much memories and also helps me to learn the other sides of Ilmo I didn’t know. I will always remember Ilmo as a mentor and role model.
