Teppo Toivonen, MJD

Experienced and Hands-On Business Developer & Board Professional – Green Growth Strategist

I have over 17 years of experience in business development within major corporations (from specialist roles to executive leadership positions at K-Group and S-Group), as well as an equally long track record in growth companies and startups across various industries, including gaming, digital transformation, the food industry, and now an entirely new sustainable construction technology.

Currently, I serve as Chief Growth Officer at an Aalto University-based startup (since 2021) and am looking for part-time board, consulting, and business development projects alongside my current role. My core expertise lies in turning strategies into actionable and effective operations – I have built and managed five retail chain concepts and developed multiple supporting functions. In recent years, I have focused particularly on digitalization and its impact on sales and business development.

As an active networker (with over 10,000 international experts in my network), I navigate seamlessly between expert teams and board-level engagements. My strengths lie in commercialization and business growth with a hands-on approach – I integrate sales, marketing, and communication processes into a single efficient customer journey that delivers measurable results.

I am a firm believer in continuous learning and development – currently, I am further deepening my expertise in board work, sales, marketing, AI applications, and internationalization through Aava & Bang MasterClass and other specialized programs.
