“Petri Oksanen combines an aggressive, optimistic outlook with a strong sense of a company’s limits to help guide his portfolio companies to great success. Petri’s “just-enough” guidance has allowed and continues to allow Prometheus Group to grow spectacularly in all aspects – financial results, operational prowess, and management - while never getting too far ahead of itself.”
