About

The gap between good and great
is almost always infrastructure.

If a task doesn't require human judgement, taste, or creative instinct, it belongs to a machine. The point isn't efficiency. It's making sure people spend their time on the work only they can do. That's how I build marketing functions and the teams that run them.

I've stayed deliberately technical over ten years. I've seen what happens when directors lose touch with the stack: the calls get worse and the bullshit gets harder to catch. Staying close to what's actually beneath the strategy makes the strategy better.

I hold the user experience to the same standard as the acquisition numbers. A great acquisition system that leads to a mediocre experience is a leaky bucket with better branding.

The best results I've seen come from teams who believe in what they're building. That doesn't happen by itself. It comes from leadership that's present, honest, and doing the work alongside them.

  • AI as Infrastructure, Not Theatre
    I've embedded AI into real marketing workflows: content, performance analysis, campaign testing. If it doesn't change how the team works, it doesn't count.
  • Martech Architecture
    Deep hands-on knowledge of the full stack: HubSpot, CRM integration, lead journey frameworks, marketing automation. I know what's overhyped, what's underused, and what actually moves the business.
  • Growth Systems & Demand Generation
    I build inbound engines that generate qualified pipeline consistently. Systems built to last, not campaigns that spike once.
  • Performance Meets User Experience
    Most growth marketers optimise the funnel and ignore what happens inside it. Acquisition without a good experience is just an expensive retention problem.
  • Marketing–Sales Alignment
    Experience leading both sides of the revenue equation: the commercial model, sales playbooks, and the infrastructure that connects marketing to closed deals.
  • Leading Through Change
    Three rebrandings. One company exit. Multiple mergers. The teams who come out stronger are the ones where leadership stayed visible, honest, and present.

A great acquisition system that leads to a mediocre experience is a leaky bucket with better branding.

What I left behind.

Jun 2022 – Present
Framna (formerly Shape)

Head of Marketing → Global Head of Growth Marketing

Started at Shape in 2022 and built the marketing function from scratch: inbound engine, HubSpot migration, content strategy, and a brand refresh. In 2024 the scope expanded as Shape, Bontouch, and Move began merging into Framna. I led the global marketing integration across brand, go-to-market, and the infrastructure needed to run marketing across multiple markets. Since May 2025, I've held the title of Global Head of Growth Marketing, leading a team of 9 marketers responsible for all markets. Also produced Northern Europe's largest mobile app study.

Videolle Productions

Partner & CMO

Joined Videolle early and built the entire marketing function as the company grew into Finland's leading full-service video agency. Over seven years, I built the brand, led the sales team, developed the commercial model, and drove consistent growth.

Client brands included Coca-Cola, F-Secure, and KONE.

Beyond the CV

Outside the
strategy deck.

Finnish. Based in Copenhagen. I ended up in marketing because it sits at the intersection I find most interesting: technology, human behaviour, and commercial outcomes.

Two daughters and a husband who have learned that dinner conversations often turn into strategy sessions. Strong opinions about AI, martech, and what good marketing looks like.

The right conversation
starts somewhere.

If you're building a marketing function that needs the right technical foundations, real commercial accountability, and a clear point of view on AI, I'd like to hear about it.
