Katriina Viita

Hi, I'm Katriina. I've spent 12+ years translating between engineering teams and C-suite executives, as a founder, consultant, and something in between. My approach combines engineering problem-solving, integral theory thinking, and over a decade of lived experience across 5 countries, multiple industries, and navigating parenthood. What this means for mentoring: I look at challenges from multiple dimensions simultaneously - technical feasibility, business needs, user behavior, and organizational dynamics. I guide you to see the patterns and different perspectives in your specific situation. I work with mentees on: - Building AI-native products - Stakeholder alignment without authority - Conflict resolution and stronger collaboration - Internal tools & API platforms that drive operational excellence - Career and country transitions (within Europe) I'm based in Berlin, ranked Top 100 on ADPList, and currently hands-on technical building with Claude Code. I've led 0 to 1 products, managed post-merger integration across 6 countries, and achieved all that while deciding to move around Europe. My style works well if you value systems thinking, direct and honest feedback, and creative dot-connecting.
