Miia Laukkarinen Partner

Miia is a Partner at Erevena, focused on Board, CEO and senior leadership searches for investor-backed technology companies across Europe. She also supports European companies scaling into the US and US companies expanding into Europe, drawing on her unique experience across both markets. 

Miia joined Erevena in September 2025 after more than a decade at Bessemer Venture Partners, where she was VP of Global Talent. In this role, she partnered with portfolio companies at every stage, from early Series A startups through to some of the world’s most successful unicorns, helping them build the leadership talent needed to scale globally. Companies she supported include Shippo, Hibob, Pipedrive, Dashlane, DeepL, Twilio, Procore, and Toast.

Earlier in her career, Miia was an instrumental member of the Venture Capital and Technology practices at Heidrick & Struggles and Spencer Stuart, where she advised both funds and technology businesses on their most critical leadership hires. 

After nearly three decades living and working in Silicon Valley, Miia returned home to Europe in 2025 and is now based in Finland. She is passionate about helping Nordic and European companies connect with world-class leadership talent to unlock growth.
