Testimonials

“Aarni Heiskanen has rendered extremely valuable guidance, advice and support to Finnish Tourist Board when the Board was renewing its strategy in full. Also after that process, Finnish Tourist Board has invoked the professionalism of Mr. Heiskanen on numerous complicated business problems, and every time remarkable progress has been made.”

Jaakko Lehtonen
Director General
Finnish Tourist Board
“Ever since around the mid-eighties Aarni has been an important intellectual sparring partner of mine in strategic business development. In particular it should be recognized that the IT strategy in digital publishing, the process of which he moderated for our company Building Information Ltd as early as 2001, is still valid and has given our company competitive advantage for more than 10 years. Quite an achievement!”

“I worked with Aarni in closer co-operation than just buying services from his. His company was an integral part of our operations at the time, and he was perceived as a colleague although not being an employee of the same company.

Aarni's pleasant manner (he's a real gentleman!) was well received among colleagues and customers alike. He always kept his cool even when time's got rough (and they did). And his good sense of humour does not hurt either.”
