About me

I’m Lauri, an independent Marketing & Communications Consultant working at the intersection of B2B tech, deep tech ecosystems, European innovation, and multi‑stakeholder communities.

I help innovation-driven organizations — from research‑to‑market initiatives, startups to corporates, institutions, and ecosystem builders — turn complex, multi‑stakeholder challenges into clear narratives, aligned audiences, and systems that scale across borders.

My ability to bridge science, technology, policy, and entrepreneurship comes from a multi-disciplinary foundation: a Bachelor’s in Social Sciences (Communication, EU Studies, Political History), a Master’s in Communication & Marketing Management, and Executive Education in Innovation Management & Entrepreneurship at HEC Paris.

Having lived and worked across France, Finland, and the Netherlands, I’ve collaborated with startups, corporates, investors, researchers, and policymakers, developing an intuitive understanding of how cultural, technological, and political dynamics shape European innovation.

This gives me both the contextual depth to understand societal and regulatory environments, and the practitioner’s experience to turn complex technologies and stakeholder landscapes into strategies that drive measurable impact — whether for a deep tech summit, an EU‑funded program, or a corporate innovation initiative.

Over the past 10 years, I’ve supported actors across deep tech, EU institutions, industrial tech, events, analytics, and innovation ecosystems, building engaged communities and delivering marketing communication systems that scale.

I work with teams who are building a more sustainable, resilient, and technologically advanced future — and who need clarity, structure, and strategic communication to get there.

Services available in English, French and Finnish.

Why work with me?

I’ve spent a decade working with Fortune 500 enterprises, deep tech startups, EU institutions, investors, and policymakers, helping scale European innovation impact and communities through strategic communication systems and ecosystem‑aware marketing programs.

What sets me apart is the combination of strategic thinking and hands‑on execution.

Whether you need a full marketing communications audit, a holistic system for campaigns and stakeholder engagement, or someone to manage an entire initiative from brief to delivery, I bring clarity, structure, and a human, results‑driven approach.

My strong European network is an added advantage for any team operating across borders or ecosystems.

What you get:

  • End‑to‑end campaign systems: 

    Build repeatable, cross‑border communication engines that deliver consistent visibility without constant reinvention.

  • Marketing & communications audits: 

    See exactly what’s working, what’s blocking growth, and where to focus for the highest impact across European markets.

  • AI‑enabled communication workflows: 

    Scale your output and reduce operational friction with intelligent systems that handle the heavy lifting.

  • Stakeholder mapping & positioning

    Know exactly who influences your success, how decisions move, and where to focus your energy.

  • Content strategy & execution:  

    Communicate complex ideas with clarity and consistency, tailored to the audiences that matter most.

  • Community advocacy & ecosystem outreach: 

    Build trust, visibility, and momentum by engaging the right partners, communities, and ecosystem actors across Europe.

I bring a hybrid approach that blends narrative clarity, international communication expertise, and hands‑on delivery. I go the extra mile with proven frameworks, modern tech stacks, and thoughtful creative execution.

Let’s build something that works.
