Who is Antti Apunen?
I am owner and founder of Ediste. I am responsible for
productization, this means I lead the workshops and present your new service. I participate in the piloting of your new service and the development of your service organization.
I am a 49-year-old social scientist and father of two children. I studied at the beginning of the 90s at Tampere University, where simultaneously working as editor-in-chief of the student magazine sucked me into professional life. I spent the last years of the millennium, working at advertising companies and at growing my own software company. I have been an entrepreneur since 1995.
I became a productizer at the beginning of the new millenium. I came up with the idea simply because, I realized it was practically impossible to buy productization services, so I decided to start offering them myself.
I have gathered management experience from small product development companies to big listed companies’ executive committees. I have experience in designing service centers, management and service sales.
As personal customers, I have had tens of Finnish big companies and many more smaller expert companies.
From year 2008, all my productizations are done in my fully owned Ediste. I am also a CMC-certified management consultant.
My strengths as a productizer
- I have productized more than 500 services to companies
selling worldwide their expertise and products. You will find
examples of my customers and projects in the Customers-
page. - I can write the money talk, that managers and executive
committees want to read. - I stick my neck out. I sell your new product to your
salespersons and your executive committee before you do,
and before I try to be smart on how your experts should
handle the situation. - I can describe your technically difficult product with words,
that your customers understand. I grasp the language of
engineers, so you won’t have to spell out the basics for me. - I productize really fast.
