"During my current master's degree in International Business Economics, Professor Jimmi has been my lecturer and project supervisor. I experienced him being an outstanding lecturer by demonstrating his great teaching and speaking skills including a good sense of humor and always being straight to the point. He is a professor who has a very high engagement level with his students, as he advises students in issues that go even beyond what is discussed in the classroom showcasing his ability as a fantastic student counselor. On the other hand, also he himself shows great openness for feedback that he tries to directly translate into improvement actions. Finally, one of Jimmi's greatest skills is that he knows how to push his students' performance to the maximum."

"Throughout my master's degree, Jimmi supervised several of my projects including my master thesis. Thanks to Jimmi's skill of integrating theory with practise I was able to crack real case studies such as a project on the aviation industry, which was based on real facts and data. His high engagement with his students and the thought through presentations not only helped to comprehend the theory but also to stay motivated along the way. In regard to the supervision, his analytical skills as well as advisory competencies were exceptionally good and always increased the quality of work. Last but not least, I would like to mention his calm and professional personality. He is always in a good mood and takes your requests seriously."

"Throughout my master’s in International Business Economics at AAU, I had the pleasure to have Jimmi as my supervisor as well as a lecturer. As a supervisor, Jimmi always gave constructive feedback and advice on complex topics that helped to develop my knowledge within various fields. Based on his advice, it was clear that he has great knowledge and is willing to share this. He has been invested in the process and he always had time to support and motivate. As a lecturer, he developed an interesting consultancy case-study. This was very complex and had a high level of both theory and practice. This ensured that we as students were pushed to the limit to achieve maximum learning whilst having an enjoyable insight into the consultancy topic. I would highly recommend anyone to work with Jimmi."

"Jimmi was my supervisor for Managing International Business Functions course. He is a very friendly person but more importantly, he is enthusiastic about what he is doing, so much so that one could feel his positive energy and enthusiasm in the class. He was able to capture the attention and enthusiasm of the students' thanks to his energy and personality.
He was a very good teacher and supervisor. His analytical and advisory skills helped us understand and solve complex problems. He explained multi-layered complex topics in an easy way so students could understand the basics before building on it. He encouraged students to do their own research and dive deeper into the topic so they could come up with their own information. This helped create multiple innovative solutions which deepened curiosity to the topic. Furthermore, he helped us use the theories in a real-life situation which was very important. He does not just give creative and innovative solutions but he also helps students to create their own innovative solutions.
Jimmi also supports his students outside of the lecture by encouraging them to enter competitions and improve themselves. He is a very invested and an enthusiastic teacher besides being an extremely capable analyst. I would be very happy to be able to work with him again."

"Jimmi has been my supervisor on two projects during my master and is supervising my master thesis as well. He has an impressive ability, to make very abstract problems tangible, and knows how to create a twist around practical and abstract problem solving. Also, he takes the time needed to understand and analyse the case he is being presented, which shows a great amount of enthusiasm. As a teaching professor, he managed to create a practical case-solving module, which combined with complex theoretical foundations made a very inspiring learning module. His enthusiasm and high amount of energy towards learning makes him a great person to be around, as it motivates people to seek more knowledge and develop themselves professionally."
