Hi, I am Johanna

 
 

My mission is to put the human experience at the center of the strategy.

I am a strategist: I worked for large corporations (Nokia and Microsoft) altogether 12 years in demanding strategy, business development, and operational development positions. Today, I love to bring this skill set together with customer-centric thinking, always putting the human experience at the center of the strategy.

I am a startup entrepreneur and CEO: I led B2B SaaS startup Lumoa from an idea in my head to a thriving company with a great product loved by customers and 30 motivated and talented employees.

I am a customer experience and customer insight expert. As an insight professional, I am always pushing for increasing the business impact and strategic relevance of the customer data, and I'm unusually well equipped to do so because of my strategy, and P&L leadership background.

I am an advisor: I advise aspiring entrepreneurs, early-stage startups, and companies going through digital transformation in the areas of customer-centricity, purpose-driven business building, agile practices, and leadership.
