Strategy - ESG / Sustainability - Transformation - Growth - Customer centricity

Hanna Nikoskelainen_edited_edited_edited_edited.png

I'm a seasoned strategy and business development executive. My background combines 20 yrs of experience in management consulting (Booz & Company, today Strategy& / PwC) and strategy executive roles in various Finnish stock-listed companies (Tokmanni, Huhtamaki and Silmäasema). At Tokmanni, I was also a member of the Executive Team. 

​

Consumers/customers, brands and driving growth have been my passion ever since I started my career in global FMCGs, primarily in brand management roles. Another passion of mine is developing the way strategy work is done towards a more continuous, agile process that corresponds to the needs of todays fast-paced, digital world - alongside tightly integrating Sustainability agenda and goals. 

​

I've gained significant, hands-on experience in designing and leading various strategy, transformation and operational efficiency improvement projects. I'm accustomed to working in a cross-functional setting and managing stakeholders from Board level to front line staff. 

​

Industry-wise, I have in-depth experience in Retail and Consumer, also from manufacturing and service businesses. 

​

After a long career in consulting and strategy lead roles, I want to leverage my experience to support small and mid-sized growth companies as an independent consultant and advisor. I hope to see increasing number of Finnish and Nordic companies internationalize, reach higher growth pace and become more customer centric; supported by efficient operating model.

​

I can act in interim-capacity, work project-based or run individual working sessions - what ever best fits the needs of your business. I'm available for Board or Advisory Board roles.
