Meet the Founder
PiaDots Academy was created by Pia Kiviranta, an interim executive, business coach, LinkedIn specialist, entrepreneur, author and educator with experience across multiple industries and professional roles.

After working in engineering, education, business development, sales and leadership, Pia recognised that many highly skilled professionals struggle not because they lack expertise—but because they lack clear ways to position, package and sell it.
This insight became the foundation of PiaDots Academy.
