About me

I am Daiva S. Naldal – Business Advisor & Innovation Strategist.

I help founders and business leaders discover new growth opportunities, build their innovation capacities,  challenge established thinking and make better strategic decisions about the future of their business.

I bring 15+ years of hands-on experience at the LEGO Group, where I led teams and worked across product innovation, international marketing, partnerships and new business pilots.  My experience includes developing and scaling new businesses, including LEGO Architecture and LEGO Ideas (from small market pilot to €70+ mill turnover), growing established business portfolios and building the org. capabilities for turning innovation into business results. 

In my Strategic Advisor role,  I have advised 50+ startups and SMEs on business strategy and commercial growth opportunities.

I also mentor entrepreneurs across international innovation and accelerator programmes.

Testimonials

I have been having mentoring sessions with Daiva for a few months now and they have been invaluable! Daiva draws on her extensive experience to challenge my thinking and help me recognize the archilles heel in my assumptions. Shifting our marketing focus to speak directly to kids has been a really important learning thanks to Daiva. Staying focused is always easier said than done, but Daiva has helped guide us to tools and techniques to help us stay on track. She is amazing!
Gemma PepperCEO / Co-Founder - AUDIOPLAY, Australia
Daiva took part in one of the final steps creating our company‘s positioning strategy. During the workshop with her we have managed to crystallize what was the most important, sustainable and valuable in our brand and our products. She helped us to finalize rather exhausting process and move to implementation step.
Vesta KrungolcienėBrand Executive Director, AB Audimas, Lithuania
I have worked with Daiva in her role as a coach, and later as a business partner for my startup Squar3D. Daiva has a solid professional foundation and is forthcoming and direct in her communication. This has been wielded to very efficiently and effectively improve my business and to get a sensible strategy in place. She is very focused on executing and achieving results. Through sparring and encouragement she pushes me to achieve the best possible results, while at the same time keeping the collaboration pleasant, encouraging and constructive. I am very happy I got Daiva onboard very early in my startup, and feel that she has moved my business forward more in a month, than what I would have achieved in half a year.
