Pekko was demanding of himself and others. He didn't try to please anyone, staying focused on the desired result, yet was supportive and there for everyone. Most importantly, I knew and trusted that Pekko understood the desired result and could deftly identify the steps needed to reach it.

Sometimes a leader needs to structure his visions and for that, he needs a trusted collaborator with experience and insight. In addition, the interlocutor must have the ability to constructively disagree; dare to question and justify their views. Pekko has all these qualities. He has the skill to argue and challenge your client in a constructive way.

With Ave Group's guidance, our extended management team worked on a shared future vision and current state analysis. Ave Group helped us expand our thinking and find a new perspective to ensure we are not blinded to our current situation. We reached a common understanding of the future's key success factors, risks and obstacles in light of culture, customer orientation, business model, resilience and processes. The outcome was a concrete implementation plan with clear responsibilities, which helped execution. Development was carried out by engaging key personnel in an inspiring and professional manner. The program clearly benefited us and gave us confidence in business focus area development.

Pekko is an inspiring and dauntless coach who effectively empowers individual and team growth. I highly recommend Pekko for management team coaching.

Thank You for the excellent training sessions Pekko! It was interesting, interactive and valuable for anyone wanting to enhance their leadership. I am more enthusiastic and confident as a leader. I look forward to putting some of the techniques I've learned into practice!

Pekko wasn't only the CEO's familiar consultant but very quickly became a sparring partner for the entire group, also on the individual level. He met each participant in a way that suited them. He was able to build trust, not only in himself but also within the team. This demanded that each participant be open, exposing their own vulnerability, thus enabling discussion of even the most sensitive matters. This builds real trust between people.

Pekko from Ave-Group took the challenge to help a group of half engineers - half managers and managers with an engineering background to learn about how to be and become a leadership team. With his high level of energy and dedication to the task/team, we were able to learn more about ourselves and most importantly, how we impact other people around us, especially within our team members, but also leadership team colleagues. We successfully covered our DISC ® profiles and looked at the foundations of being a team. With this training, we learned how to make a transfer of a very seasoned and talented team of engineers at MediaTek from good to great. Pekko is a true professional in this field and it has been a pleasure to work with him.

Pekko is an entrepreneur and doesn't work in a large consulting firm, so he is independent and able to adapt to the client's needs. He is also very service and customer-oriented, which is reflected in the way that he considers everyone's matters to be of importance. In addition, confidence is built because he lives up to his words: he walks the talk.
