Miltton accelerates international growth with new AI portfolio; Anu Ubaud to lead operations in Germany and Marianne Muona in the United Kingdom

Marianne Muona has been appointed Managing director of Miltton UK. She brings extensive experience in public affairs, regulation, financial services, and stakeholder relations in international leadership roles. Muona has worked closely with European institutions, policymakers, and international networks both in Brussels and the United Kingdom.

Before joining Miltton, Muona held senior leadership positions at the global financial services company State Street, where she was responsible for strategic initiatives, governance frameworks, and large stakeholder portfolios across Europe. She holds a law degree and earned an LL.M. from Harvard Law School.

“The UK remains one of the world’s most important hubs for business, technology, capital, and international decision-making. Miltton has a unique opportunity to combine a Nordic perspective, deep societal understanding, and new AI solutions in a way that creates completely new sources of competitive advantage for clients,” says Marianne Muona.

Miltton’s new growth phase is based on the idea that the future of consulting lies at the intersection of human expertise, extensive networks, and artificial intelligence. The company has developed new AI-powered solutions for stakeholder insight, operating environment analysis, strategic foresight, identifying emerging societal phenomena, and supporting decision-making.

Miltton’s AI Lab initiative began when Tero Ojanperä assumed the role of Chairman of the Board in spring 2025. As a result of this work, Miltton has built a new AI-powered service portfolio that includes Ambition, which provides strategic situational awareness; Dareon, which anticipates stakeholder reactions; and GreenChecker, which identifies risks in sustainability communications.

“Our long-term investments are now bearing fruit. The technologically advanced portfolio we have built enables us to grow both in Central Europe and in the United States. At the heart of it all is the deep expertise of Miltton’s people and the company’s 25 years of experience in stakeholder communications and strategic advisory,” says Kaius Niemi, Deputy CEO of Miltton Group.

The goal of Miltton’s international expansion is to establish the company as Europe’s leading partner at the intersection of societal insight, strategic advisory, and AI-powered services. London and Berlin will serve as key growth platforms in achieving that ambition.

Miltton employs approximately 400 experts with backgrounds spanning business, media, politics, academia, technology, and broader society. The company operates internationally across the Nordics, the Baltics, Brussels, Kyiv, London, Berlin, and Washington, D.C., and through its partner network in more than 25 countries.
