Art x business
LMK Nordic Partners is an international boutique agency in the arts and creative sector. My mission is to promote the arts and their presence in the society. I do this by writing, speaking and coaching as well as through events and tailored projects. I also want to build bridges between the arts and the business sector, creating value for both. Creativity is capital. Culture is capital.
Liisa
I’m an experienced professional in arts management and have had the chance to work as an artist agent and CEO of an international music festival and currently as CEO of one of the worlds leading chamber orchestras, the Mahler Chamber Orchestra.
I’m also a doctoral student and PhD candidate at the Turku School of Economics and my reserach focuses on the relationship and joint opportunities between the arts and the corporate sector.
Mahler Chamber Orchestra
Mahler Chamber Orchestra is an international touring orchestra founded in 1997. The MCO office is in Berlin, but the MCO players represent 25 different nationalities and the orchestra tours annually at the most prestigious concert halls and festivals in Europe, I am the MCO’s CEO since January 2025.

France
I lived in Paris for six years and graduated from Institut d’Études Politiques de Paris in 2009 and also worked at two artist agencies. During those years, I got to know French culture and society and have since considered France as my second home. In 2021-2025, I was also the Présidente of the Finnish-French Chamber of Commerce and now serve as its cultural ambassador.
I wish to promote Finnish-French relations at all levels in society and have consulted different instances about matters regarding French culture. I use French daily and have given interviews both on French radio and television. I’m always happy to work on projects around Finnish-French relations and glad to help in getting to know French culture.
