"Futures Diamond is a great example of a new breed of firms making smart use of Information Technology to support researchers and decision-makers in their work. In my experience, they are a creative, effective, and reliable team, who are moving the frontiers of our field forward"

"To describe Rafael with words is not easy. Endless energy and passion comes first to mind. Once you have seen him in action you know you have encountered a person with exceptional qualities. At the same time he has a command of the big picture - present and future - but also masters the implementation details with ease. His communication, networking and negotiation skills are truly on a world class level boosting things to happen when Rafael is around."

Janne Järvinen

"Informed decision-making is the hallmark of leadership - Futures Diamond understand this and create brilliant portals, apps, content and intelligence that looks ahead 10, 15 and even 20 years. We had enjoyable, exciting and challenging times building a world beating Health Horizon Scanning platform and App for the UK Department of Health and then running a project strand for the EU. Rafael is a leader in the field of HS and full of ideas and a wonderful \\\'can do\\\' approach to problem solving. If you have the chance to work together - grab it with both hands - you will be pleased you did!"
