Hi,

I’m Olga Makeeva, a seasoned international business development specialist with over 15 years of experience across sales, marketing, project management, startup acceleration, market intelligence, and foreign direct investment (FDI). I work with companies and entrepreneurs to establish efficient processes, form strategic partnerships, and craft compelling presentations, pitches, and business plans for expansion and relocation.

My domain expertise spans ICT, sustainability, manufacturing, life sciences (MedTech, pharma, healthcare, food), travel, and environmental technologies. I also mentor startups on proof of concept, product-market fit, customer development, and relocation strategies.

With academic backgrounds in linguistics, marketing, and psychology, I support individuals in professional development and career transitions—helping them craft standout resumes, personal branding strategies, and self-presentation tools. My coaching is based on a market-savvy approach: aligning personal strengths with demand and packaging them with clarity and impact.

Having consulted for Finnish companies in both public and private sectors, and now residing in Finland since 2023, I’m deeply familiar with the country’s business landscape, educational opportunities, and relocation pathways. Despite its challenges, Finland continues to be a thriving hub for innovation, quality of life, and global expansion.

If you’re interested in collaborating or learning more, feel free to reach out. I’d be delighted to connect.
