Perttu was the person who taught me first the fundamentals and later on the finer points of professional services business when I joined the company as a fresh CEO. His ability in understanding both the big picture as well as the details were valuable and his broad expertise meant that we did not need to rely on external consultants too often which often speeded up decision making processes. Whenever we were contemplating expansion of the business he was always the voice of reason when others got carried away with the potential new revenue opportunities: Perttu was quick to analyse the business plan and point out any weaknesses or improvement opportunities in the plans. All in all he was my trusted partner in managing the company and growing its business.
