Bio
Anniina Vuorinen
It's been truly an honor to get to know Esa and work with him. He is a strong professional who quickly takes a huge responsilibity in a project, communicates extremely well, knows how to delegate and makes sure that customer and end user needs are understood so that real value is produced. He is totally capable of juggling with three different roles. In addition with the professional skills, he is always listening and understands very well the human side of the business. I felt that he cares about others and his heart is just pure gold!
Teemu Tomperi
Esa is an excellent IT professional, with inherent ability to create structure and manage things to clarity and resolution. He can successfully combine project management, service management and solution architecture - achieving strong results and happy customers. By his performance and reliability, Esa is able to build trust both among external clients and own organisation. Esa is a great colleague, always positive, always supportive, always displaying great attitude and drive to find solutions and improve things. It has been a pleasure to work with Esa for a number of years, and I sincerely hope we can continue to work together in the future, as well!
