Where Strategy Meets Global Business
"Successful international growth begins with strategic clarity. Sustainable partnerships are built on trust, capability and execution."
I'm Birgit Linnamäe, a strategist, advisor and PhD researcher working at the intersection of German and Estonian business — helping Estonian companies enter German and European value chains, and German companies find and vet reliable sourcing partners in Estonia.
For more than 25 years I've worked inside industrial and growth-driven businesses, building market positions based on trust, not just competitiveness. Among the ventures I've built and scaled is KODA by Kodasema, taken from concept to an internationally recognised modular housing brand.
I hold a master's degree (cum laude) in economics and strategic management, and I'm completing a PhD at Estonian Business School researching international value chains — work I've presented internationally, including at MIT.
As a former elite athlete, I bring discipline and long-term thinking to every engagement. I advise leaders who want clarity, not reassurance.
