Mikael is great and supportive person. I used to work with him as my main supplier's contact. He always presents proactive, helpful and goals oriented attitude. He is very experienced and essential person. I can say he is "easy to cooperate with" as he always tries to find out solution to solve my issues, even he has strong negotiations skills. On top of all those "professional skills" I find him as well mannered person, which I always want to meet in my business relation.
