Our Story

Turning Good Leadership into Great Leadership

At Elexive, our vision is to make exceptional leadership accessible to everyone. We believe great leadership is not only for Fortune 500 companies or venture-backed startups. It is a fundamental right for any organization that wants to make an impact.

Our story began with a simple commitment: to help leaders and teams turn vision into real progress. With experience in strategy, technology, and transformation, we work alongside our clients to navigate complexity and achieve results that matter.

Elexive is built on transparency, partnership, and a focus on what truly counts. We exist to help organizations of all sizes grow, adapt, and lead with confidence.

From Parallel Paths to Shared Purpose

Elexive was born at the intersection of two distinct yet complementary career arcs.

Rolf Koski, an AWS Hero, strategist, and technology leader, had spent two decades shaping cloud ecosystems and driving innovation in AI and digital infrastructure.

Henri Peltomäki, meanwhile, built his reputation leading iconic global brands like Red Bull and Diageo, mastering the craft of growth, positioning, and emotionally intelligent leadership.

Aalto University - where the founders met during their pivot moment

The Pivot

They met while both were in the midst of a professional pivot, at the hallways of Aalto University School of Business in Helsinki, reexamining what impact and legacy meant in a rapidly changing world.

Despite their different histories, they shared a common dissatisfaction with how leadership was practiced: too much noise, not enough clarity; too much rigidity, not enough humanity.

"What if we built something radically different?"

A Leadership Experience

Elexive was founded on the belief that great leadership should be scalable, teachable, and universally accessible.

They envisioned a new service model rooted in co-creation, where clients become active builders of capability, not passive recipients of insight.

Working with us feels more like building alongside a product team than buiyng a project from a traditional consultancy, or hiring an interim or fractional CxO.

Great Leadership Belongs to Everyone

Next generation leadership

Why It Resonates

Our clients are companies in motion. Growth-minded, people-first, and fed up with outdated playbooks.

For leaders who feel trapped between legacy systems and performative leadership noise, Elexive offers something different: rigor without rigidity. Substance without spectacle. Modern tools without the technobabble.

We're not just building a business. We're building a better standard for leadership itself.
