Marjaana Toiminen

Jonas Bonnier, former CEO of Bonnier AB:

"Marjaana Toiminen is one of the most interesting business leaders I've ever came across. She can, if and whenever she wants, make the world stop, and listen to a specific cricket, just because it is her chosen cricket. It's pure magic, and I've witnessed it again and again."

I am a long term media professional dedicated to developing new business opportunities based on analytics, wit, future scenarios and - intuition. I am currently an independent consultant and a co-founder of a senior executive level advisor network called MindMill Network, with members in Silicon Valley, New York, Singapore, Stockholm and Helsinki.

On the side of consulting brands and institutions I run a weekly live radio show on the digital future in the national broadcasting company.

My recent occupation was to establish a local publishing house for the international media company Bonnier in Finland. I lead and developed Bonnier Publications Oy from 2006 to 2014, while launching several print and digital concepts with the staff I recruited.

At the core of the work was to build a pioneering company in the transforming media industry. We did this by introducing new ways to approach the market, i.e. in co-creation and community thinking in brand development as well as content driven creative sales strategies.

My background is in journalism. I have worked as an editor in chief in a women´s weekly (Anna) and in a unisex monhtly life style magazine (Image).

I am also interested in finding ways to tap people to their potential. While the brands we launched at Bonnier were able to gain market share in the most competitive magazine market in the world, we also succeeded in establishing a creative business culture, ranking among the top companies in the Great Place to Work -survey every year we participated.

This knowledge, skills and tools are now at your disposal.
