Henna Keränen Head of Partnerships & Community Sting At Sting, I am responsible for building and strengthening our strategic partnerships and the startup community to create the maximum value for those startups that are in our portfolio. I am also conducting several startup events and creating content for Sting’s social media channels.

Previously, I worked at the Finnish Innovation Fund Sitra as a specialist within the New Working Life and Sustainable Economy theme that analyses the transformation of work. I was leading our departments’ external stakeholder relations and identified new key partners in order to successfully implement our mission. I was also responsible for analyzing different projects that applied both partnership opportunities and funding opportunities from our department.

My key competences cover partnerships, startups, external relations, public affairs, strategic communications, program management, and marketing.
