AI keynote speaker for marketing and sales

Otso Karvinen is one of Finland's leading experts in agentic AI for marketing and sales. Fifteen years in the field took him to Head of Growth at Quru, where he built an agentic go-to-market machine to drive the company's growth. He is now co-founder of Parvi. Parvi is an agentic AI agency for marketing and sales. The systems he talks about are tested in the real world and the same ones he builds for companies every day. If you want a concrete look at what agentic AI can do for sales and marketing, Otso is the right person to put in front of your team.

"If there's something new, whether it's AI, an ad format, or a new way to measure effectiveness, you can be 100% sure Otso hasn't only heard about it, but tried and stress-tested it." · Robyn Belak-Ekendahl, Global Head of Marketing, Adapteo Group

What I speak about

Marketing

What AI actually changes in a marketing team

Past the hype: which marketing work agents do well today, which they do not, and how a team gets real leverage without losing its voice. Concrete examples from systems running in production.

Sales & GTM

Agentic go-to-market, end to end

How an agentic GTM system runs the funnel: search and paid, content and copy, prospecting and qualification, meeting workflows and the analysis that drives the next decision. Built and operated, not theorised.

Agentic AI

From chatbots to agents that do the work

What "agentic" really means, why it is the shift that matters, and where a human stays in the loop. A grounded mental model an audience can act on the next morning.

Building the team

Building a team of AI agents that ships every day

The operating model behind embedding a strategist plus a team of AI agents into a company, and what it takes to make the output trustworthy enough to run unattended.

For boards & leadership

Building the human team for an agentic AI era

The other half of the shift: how to organise and lead people when agents do more of the work. What the team should own, which skills matter now, and how roles change. A session I often run for boards and leadership teams.

On stage

Dozens of talks over the years: on conference stages, in podcasts and webinars, and in closed sessions for boards and leadership teams. A few of them:

Booking questions

What does Otso speak about?

AI in marketing and sales, agentic AI, building teams of AI agents, and how to build and lead the human team for the agentic AI era. He speaks to conference audiences as well as boards and leadership teams. Every talk is grounded in systems he has actually built and runs, so the audience leaves with a working mental model, not a list of tools.

Keynote or workshop?

Both. A keynote sets the frame and shifts how a room thinks about agentic AI. A hands-on workshop takes a team into their own use cases. Say which outcome you want and the format follows.

In English or Finnish?

Either. Otso speaks and presents natively in both English and Finnish.
