Organisations succeed when people commit and thrive. I work with founders and leadership to identify and solve problems to release the full growth potential: building trust, culture and purposeful processes that enable people to thrive, and bringing focus and reducing founder dependency.

Susanna Laanikari

I’m a generalist and a human-centred leader. My approach to helping organisations is open-minded, systemic and result-driven.

More about me

Ambiguity in an organisation eats productivity and innovation. Small problems grow into big ones over time.

I help organisations to create clarity, identify their most critical bottlenecks to unlock the full growth potential by figuring out ways to address them — through people, systems, and structures.
