His early entry into a networked world, connecting not only his customer to him electronically but his large global network, gave me a new dimension to the creative part of marketing communications."
Hans Ehrnrooth, was Kurt's client
"If neither I, Kurt or Panu Mustonen don't know that Finn, it has to be only a rumour" Petja Jäppinen, was with another company when working with Kurt
