Suomalais-ruotsalaista yhteisvoimaa yritysten kansainväliseen neuvontaan
PRIME ADVISORY JA CONSILIO LIITTOUTUVAT
Suomalaisten asiantuntijoiden ryhmittymä Prime Advisory Partners Oy ja Ruotsin johtava yritysten geopoliittisiin haasteisiin erikoistunut konsulttitoimisto Consilio International AB liittoutuvat tarjotakseen lähinnä yrityksille kansainvälisen toimintaympäristön haasteita koskevaa neuvontaa.
Prime Advisory Partners on suomalainen muutaman vuoden toiminut asiantuntijakokoonpano. Sen partnerit ovat Jaakko Laajava, joka on ollut mm. UM:n alivaltiosihteeri sekä Suomen suurlähettiläs Lontoossa ja Wahingtonissa, Veli Sundbäck, joka on ollut mm. Nokian johtokunnan jäsen ja UM:n valtiosihteeri, Fiinveran entinen varatoimitusjohtaja Topi Vesteri, Suomen suurlähettiläänä mm. Turkissa toiminut Maria Serenius, Kreabin hallituksen puheenjohtaja Matti Saarinen ja yritysjohtaja Vesa Turtiainen, joka toimii myös Prime Advisoryn toimitusjohtajana.
Consilio on riippumaton neuvontayritys, jonka Erik Belfrage, Andreas von der Heide, Jan Nygren ja Michaelin Sahlin perustivat vuonna 2011. Se on saanut hyvän aseman ruotsalaisten yritysten kansainvälisen geopolitiikan asiantuntijana
”Kansainvälisen kaupan myllerrykset ovat rajumpia kuin vuosikymmeniin. Yritysjohtajat tietävät äkillisiin muutoksiin ja turbulenssiin varautumisen merkityksen, joka on ratkaisevan tärkeä yrityksen toiminnan menestykselliselle jatkumiselle. Muutoksissa on aina myös mahdollisuuden siemen, kun ymmärtää taustat ja tarkoitukset”, sanoo Prime Advisoryn hallituksen puheenjohtaja Jaakko Laajava.
Consilion Managing Partner Andreas von der Heide pitää yhteistyötä Prime Advisoryn kanssa lupaavana:
”Analyytikkoresurssimme ja kansainvälinen verkostomme yhdessä suomalaisen kumppanimme erittäin laajan kokemuksen ja karttuneen asiantuntemuksen kanssa tarjoaa perehtyvän ja tehokkaan neuvonnan yrityksen hakiessa toimivia ratkaisuja kansainvälisissä ympäristöissä, jotka muuttuvat yhtä vaativammiksi.”
