About
Strategic Advisor | Commercial Architect | Fractional CCO
Strategy is a commodity. Execution across 10 markets and 7 languages is a competitive advantage.
I am an expert Commercial Operator and Advisor with over 20 years of experience bridging the gap between premium brands and global markets (UK, US, Nordics, DACH, Australia, Spain and beyond). I specialize in %22unsticking%22 sales pipelines and building sustainable market ecosystems for brands in Wellness, F&B, Lifestyle, Biotech, and Luxury Real Estate.
Most companies fail at international expansion because they knock on the wrong doors with the wrong cultural frequency. I provide the board-level %22pattern recognition%22 and the %22boots-on-the-ground%22 instinct required to move from unknown to established.
The %22Triple-Threat%22 Value Proposition:
Multi-Perspective Intelligence: I have operated on every side of the commercial table—buyer, seller, distributor, and founder. I understand the hidden incentives of every stakeholder in the room.
Cultural & Linguistic Arbitrage: Hyperpolyglot (7 languages) with 27 years of international living. I don%27t just translate words; I translate commercial intent across distinct psychologies.
Proven Revenue Velocity: I am not a %22theoretical%22 advisor. I have repeatedly closed €500,000+ solo mandates and secured Tier-1 strategic partnerships in under 90 days from a standing start.
Areas of Advisory Expertise:
Market Entry Architecture: Designing the %22Fast-Track%22 for Nordic-International expansion.
High-Ticket Business Development: Engineering the strategy for complex, high-value negotiations and anchor account acquisition.
Ecosystem Design: Identifying and securing the right distribution, retail, and %22Hub%22 alliances to ensure long-term scale.
Fractional Commercial Leadership: Providing C-suite oversight without the overhead of a full-time hire.
Track Record & Ventures:
Founder of Kuulas Nordic Food Export: Closing the gap between world-class Nordic brands and international buyers through a personal, 30-day %22Sprint%22 model.
Founder of Naisyrittäjät Suomi: Driving internationalization for female-led growth companies in Finland.
Biotech & Tech: Secured 4 strategic global hubs in 90 days for early-stage innovators.
I am currently open to Advisory Board roles, Board of Director seats, or Fractional CCO mandates for companies ready to engineer their next phase of international growth.
