Anu Ruul

Our team met Anu for the first time and the general feedback was very positive. The processes in our company tend to take a very long time, and it is refreshing to meet someone who teaches that you can act differently. Process mapping with Anu, where the team was directed to analyze whether what we consider to be a problem is actually a problem, made me think very seriously. It is often the case that we solve a problem in our own opinion and wonder why something does not change or even is replaced by several new problems. But often the truth is that the real problem has not been identified. We are grateful to Anu for the hours she shared her valuable thoughts with us!

Anu is very passionate and energetic about what she does both as a person and as a lecturer. You can see the enthusiasm from miles away and it is a strong advantage when you put together a training programme with her. She is definitely a motivated and inspirational speaker who I can recommend.

When we started Iffent OÜ Anu Ruul was our mentor. She told us about the analyzes, drawings and various validations we need to do to make sure that Iffent is exactly what people need and that it really works.
At the time all this analysis, drawing on paper and documntation seemed “too much.” We thought we had everything figured out in our heads…
Now – 3 years later – I thank Anu with all of my heart for politely forcing us to do all the right steps and analyzes. Otherwise, the idea would still be just in our heads.

I am definitely a lucky one to have had the opportunity to get to know Anu, a lecturer who is also an amazing coach and mentor. In the autumn of 2020 I had the pleasure of participating in one of Anu’s startup courses, it was world changing. Three months later I founded my own startup. She dives deep with you and thinks with you. Passionate and positive, Anu earns my highest recommendation.

I’ve never had such a passion to study as it was in TalTech’s startup course with Anu in 2018. And you know what? The knowledge from there really pays off as I’m now getting more into the startup world. Anu’s enthusiasm does the magic!

Anu Ruul is a great lecturer. I had the pleasure to attend her Start Up Entrepreneurship course at the Estonian Business School. As a german Erasmus Master student for management her class would shape my mindset through her experiences in that field combined with her great “do it”-mentality.

Anu’s training and energy and her ability to pass on knowledge and information is admirable. It was a training for lecturers, where all trainees were loaded with motivation after a long day and in anticipation to apply their knowledge in their own classes. If anyone at all can grab listeners and engage in exciting topics, it’s Anu.

Anu has proved to be an exceptional mentor and I’m grateful to have found a mentor in her, since the time our team of 5 individuals decided to bring the HULT Prize startup competition to Estonia for the first time in 2017.

I met Anu in 2018 as a Master student of Taltech, where she was a lecturer in Startup entrepreneurship. During this time, it quickly became clear to me that Anu was very determined and strongly motivated to do her best. It is a pleasure to learn from a person who wants to and can teach.

Anu Ruul as a lecturer is a combination of two vital characteristics: professionalism and intelligibility. She knows what she is teaching and makes the incomprehensible understandable to anyone who cares to listen.
