Bio
Heini Karppinen
We transformed a live leadership development program into hybrid format together while selling, marketing, running and facilitating it! It was always pleasant to collaborate with her, to sharpen the sustainability focus, to ideate and brainstorm, to focus on getting the work done. She never compromises her strong sense of quality, customer centricity or keeping a promise. And in addition, surprising with a delivery of beautiful flowers! Her entrepreneurial and sales oriented approach is extremely valuable for the company, or for any other project, now and in the future!

I've had the joy and priviledge to work with Elisa during her time in Bonfire Agency & Bonfire.fi -business media. She is proactive, result oriented and driven by heart what ever she is pursuing. Elisa has a rare ability to create trust and relationships with very different kind of people and influencers - no matter how high-profile business people they might be. I can warmly recommend Elisa for every position where you need an efficient and entrepreneurial team player.
