The biggest lever for Business is People.

We partner with boards, CEOs and executive teams to lead purpose-driven transformations that align business performance with long-term societal impact.

 

Human-centric. Hands-on. Built to last.

WHAT WE ARE

A transformation partner.
Not a consulting firm.

​​Takko Advisory sits at the intersection of strategy, leadership, culture, and societal impact. We bring board-level strategic experience together with deep human insight — helping leaders navigate complexity, align organizations, and execute transformations that create lasting value.

We are not an ESG reporting firm. We are not a compliance advisor. We are a purpose-driven transformation partner — and we work as one.

ABOUT US

Two founders.
One conviction.

Founded by Tarja Takko and Timo Kytömäki, Takko Advisory was built on a belief formed across decades of leading real transformations: that purpose, when made operational, creates lasting value for both business and society.

"Bringing in Takko Advisory was one of the best decisions we made. A rare combination of hands-on and strategic — a calm power that earned the trust of our most senior leaders."

— Katariina Kravi, Chief People & Communications Officer, Stora Enso

OUR APPROACH

Strategy and humanity.
​Always together.

​​Every engagement is shaped around the specific context, challenges, and ambitions of our client. We combine strategic advisory with hands-on execution — staying close to leadership, staying honest about what is hard, and staying focused on what actually moves the needle.

We work with purpose, integrity, and courage. We challenge thinking constructively.

 

We are a partner, not a vendor — and that distinction shows in every conversation.

WHERE WE HAVE WORKED

Decades of experience. Across borders and sectors.

​​Our team brings senior leadership experience from global multinationals — as CHROs, CEOs, COOs, and board members — across private equity, large-cap stock-listed companies, SaaS, healthcare, and public sector environments.

We have led transformations from the inside. We know what it feels like to sit where our clients sit. That perspective is irreplaceable.
