Background

About Milla Ikonen

An experienced B2B marketing leader known for delivering growth through strategy, data, and leadership. For the past+8 years, I’ve held senior leadership roles, reporting directly to CEOs, where I’ve led cross-functional teams and improved marketing to better support business goals. In recent roles, marketing-driven initiatives have consistently contributed 65–80% of the new business pipeline, with some months achieving 100% of pipeline generation through marketing efforts. This success demonstrates my ability to align strategy with execution, leveraging data, technology and collaboration to deliver tangible results. Key strengths include: • Building and managing full-funnel marketing strategies to achieve pipeline growth and commercial success. • Fostering collaboration between marketing and sales to optimize sales funnels, improve lead quality, and align goals. • Empowering diverse, high-performing teams through trust, mentorship, and accountability. • Simplifying complex challenges into actionable strategies and maintaining focus in high-pressure environments. My leadership philosophy is grounded in empathy, transparency, and a results-oriented mindset. I believe in achieving sustainable success by balancing business goals with the well-being of the teams and individuals I work with.
