“I help people, teams, products and new markets to grow”.

Hello, great to have you here! I’m Tiina Zilliacus, a multi-disciplinary entrepreneur and growth advisor working at the intersection of business, digital technology and value added services since 1997.
I help people, teams, products and new markets to grow. I start from strengths and experiments looking for a growth path with least resistance. Less time, less waste of resources and less hassle means more energy into what matters. Before building any digital experience I strive to understand the human situation. Understanding what moves people to action is vital.
Keywords for me when building the new include trust, direction, new business models, customer development, openness, creativeness, originality, functionality, ease of use, data based decision making, efficiency and hands on doing.

Coming soon: podcast for new builders!

I apply experience, insight, service design, customer connection, data science, commercial sense and growth leadership to digital and real world challenges, and help others to do the same.

A great new concept addresses a clear problem, is easy to test and targets big enough market. For me real kick comes from a unique concept core, and courage to stand out by relying on it.

If you don’t understand how humans make decisions, your solution will likely fall short because you don’t understand how people will interact with it (or with your pitch).

Doing and testing matters, throwing money at the problem rarely works.
