Background

About Mona Kokkonen

Experienced Marketing & Communications leader | strategic, results-driven, and creatively curious I’m a seasoned Marketing and Communications Manager with a strong can-do attitude, natural curiosity, and a passion for driving results through clear strategy and effective execution. Over the past 20+ years, I’ve built a diverse career spanning telecommunications and industrial marketing. In the first decade, I focused on external communications within the telecom sector—gaining deep experience in PR, media relations, crisis communication, stock exchange and financial communication, internal comms, event planning, and product launches. I became known for my structured approach, perseverance, and the ability to manage complex projects. In the most recent decade, I’ve shifted into strategic marketing and marketing communications, driving growth and engagement across multiple industries. As a Strategic Marketing Manager, I lead initiatives from annual planning to content creation (and development), from budgeting to stakeholder and vendor relations. My work often involves working together with cross-functional teams, launching products to new markets, and building brand trust through consistent, solution-focused customer communication. I’m passionate about technology, design, and innovation. I’m always looking for smarter, more effective ways to work—and I never settle for "good enough." Outside of work, I find energy and inspiration in nature, sports, and family life. I’m a proud mother of two, and my colleagues and friends would describe me as hard-working, fun, resilient, and highly organized. Let’s connect!
