About Us

Meeting Kimmo Toivakka

Hello,
I’m Kimmo Toivakka, a consultant, trainer & facilitator bringing you over 25 years of expertise, international experience, and a proven track record in sales performance development, leadership development, and change management.

My focus lies in enhancing the competitive edge and performance of organisations in B2B markets, particularly in highly competitive environments where success depends on value rather than price.

I have collaborated with leading global companies and local businesses across industries such as technology, IT and ICT, heavy manufacturing, professional services, industrial and property services, insurance and finance, fashion, healthcare, and more.

I founded Business Edge in 2012. Over the years, I have established multiple international partnerships, supported start-ups, and invested in other companies. Before launching Business Edge, I spent 12 years as a Senior Partner at MMC (another consulting firm), where I led international projects and managed key accounts.

Global Reach with Local Resources, Who Are We?​

I like to think of “me” as “we”, as most of my projects are conducted in collaboration with other companies, consultants, and trainers.

With my partners, I can provide global reach with local resources, enabling me to say, “Yes, we can” to most business challenges. As an independent professional, I have the flexibility to choose the best partners for each customer and project.

Some of the international partners I am honoured to work with include:

  • Korn Ferry (Miller Heiman / Achieve Global programmes)
  • CCS Nordic
  • Cegos / Integrata
  • Machwürth Team International
  • Culture Partners
  • Tschann
  • And more…

International Experience:

In addition to local initiatives, I have been involved in numerous international and global development projects across more than 25 countries, including the Nordics, the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands, Portugal, the UAE, the US, New Zealand, Australia, etc.


With my partners, we deliver global programmes tailored to local cultures and business environments, with extensive language capabilities.


Personally, I can conduct projects in either English or Finnish.
