Tuomi-Nikula brings an exceptional combination of experience from Finnish public administration, diplomacy, and media. Most recently, he served as a Senior Advisor at Sitra, and previously as Finland’s Ambassador to Italy and Hungary, among other roles. Before his diplomatic career, he worked as a journalist and in leadership positions at Fujitsu Nordic.
The changing geopolitical landscape has elevated Finnish-German cooperation to a new level. Finnish companies now have more opportunities in Germany than they have had in decades, but at the same time there is a growing need for local expertise, networks, and strategic influence. The Berlin office combines Miltton’s Nordic expertise with German local know-how in a way that provides clients with a concrete competitive advantage in a rapidly changing operating environment. The service offering covers communications strategy, media and stakeholder relations, and strategic advisory services in Germany, Ukraine, and at the EU level.
The reconstruction of Ukraine will be the largest infrastructure and economic project in Europe in the coming decade. Germany plays a key role both as a major European supporter of Ukraine and as a driver of reconstruction. Miltton has its own office in Kyiv, as well as strong expertise and networks in Ukraine. The Berlin operations complement this whole and provide clients with a new pathway to participate in reconstruction together with German partners.
“Germany is a market where Finnish companies have had significant potential but insufficient local support. We now want to change that. At the same time, the reconstruction of Ukraine makes Finnish–German cooperation even more relevant. There is demand for Finnish expertise, and we want to create pathways to participate in projects over the coming decade that carry great value both economically and for society,” says Mathias Järnström, CEO of Miltton Group.
