Bio
Ida Martikainen
From the get go, I was very pleased with the fact that we chose Lasse and ANDx to be our partner in a development project of special strategic attention. Lasse has exceptional skills for advising corporate executives with a touch that combines great facilitation of discussion groups to challenging the most obvious answers. Discussions with Lasse really accelerated my own thinking and helped me look into new directions. Moreover, Lasse is a fun person to work with – a fact that becomes very important in these deep-dive collaborations!

It was a great pleasure to work with Lasse at Nokia and at Microsoft. Lasse is both a left-brain and a right-brain thinker and has amazing stretching capability. Bes of luck - not that you need it:)
