Elina Niemimaa

I’m a cybersecurity and data protection advisor with a hint of an academic inside (D.Sc. (Tech.)). I have specialized in the challenges that derive from digitalization and the data-enabled business and I’m inspired to help companies in taking well-informed risks.

My specialities include information security and cybersecurity governance and leadership, resilience and business continuity and operative risk management. I further have a solid track record in developing cybersecurity and professional services business.

I’m also an author of distinguished scientific publications in information security leadership and governance.

In my heart, I’m an entrepreneurial-minded European - I strongly believe that we all succeed when Europe flourishes.
