Speaker profile
Who is Anssi?
Anssi Rantanen is a keynote speaker and serial entrepreneur. He studies what the most successful individuals, teams, and organisations do differently—and how those principles can be put into practice quickly.
Anssi won the prestigious Nordic Business Forum Speaker Contest in 2019 and rose to the top of the international speaking circuit. Since then he has delivered keynotes in more than ten countries, including Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Estonia, and Lithuania. His clients include OP, Nordea, KONE, Neste, Sanofi, and Vattenfall.
Before his speaking career, Anssi worked as a growth consultant at Google in Dublin and later founded Growth Tribe Academy in Finland. Over his career he has personally helped more than a hundred companies build and execute growth strategies. Today he is founder and Chief Growth Officer of DeepScan Diagnostics, a veterinary diagnostics company.
As a speaker, Anssi is bold, energetic, and highly engaging. He speaks Finnish, English, and Swedish. Most talks inspire for a moment; few change behaviour. Anssi's talks are grounded in researched insight, real business and sports examples, and frameworks he has first tested on himself. That is why teams leave with clear next steps they can use the same day.
In September 2026, Anssi aims to break a world record: climbing the height of Everest (8,848 metres—more than 30,000 steps) on stairs in under 20 hours. At the same time he aims to raise €40,000 for underprivileged young people's hobbies in Finland. It is not just an athletic feat, but a real-time test of the same principles he teaches organisations—how to set a goal that forces growth, how to continue when motivation runs out, and how to perform under pressure.
Anssi's newest keynote, Mastering Change, addresses one of the most important workplace skills in the age of AI: the ability to adapt and renew when the ground is shifting under your feet. He explains why change feels heavy even when it should feel like opportunity, how to expand your comfort zone systematically, and how to build change resilience as an individual and as a team.
