Mikael Tjernlund

During my time as CEO of S & T Airborne Systems, Mikael worked directly under me as a senior marketing and sales person. Mikael worked independently to open up new markets, with quotations, negotiating and business transactions in Europe, South America and Asia. Mikael was a great support in strategic business development and for example developed concepts for aftermarket which was later launched with great success. Mikael was appreciated by employees, partners and customers. Characteristically, he has a positive disposition and determination to complete complex transactions.

Mikael and I have worked together at S&T Airborne Systems. He was the senior sales executive, han-dling direct customer contacts, sales propositions and contracts while I had a coordinating role for the proposals. Mikael contributed with his analytical skills and structured approaches to sales proposals and business strategies. He is excellent in finding out the customer’s operational and technical needs and turning them into a business case. He has an excellent way with people and is full of energy and shares his knowledge with you. Customers find him reliable, knowledgeable and charming. He can establish strong relations with operators as well as with high ranking officers. Mikael is structured, analytic and innovative and he can bring out the best result from you. He is a joy to work with!
