Bio
Paula Lavi
It is a pure pleasure to work with a project manager who not only understands his role but also the content of the IT technical stuff! Whenever I was participating a project and learned that Vesa was leading it I was full of joy as he was able to guide even the most complex and difficult projects to the end with profound steps. Also Vesa never loses neither his temper nor humor; all project meetings were held in excellent atmosphere. I highly recommend Vesa!
Petr Naar
We work together on few projects on different side of table (customer->delivery team) Vesa was not usually in project from beginning but when project starts to be stuck and not moving correct way Vesa come and make all his best to set it back to deliver what was agreed. So if you have some project which is in troubles just hire Vesa and he will help you fix it.
