Lauri Hänninen | Product Marketer for Complex Tech

// ABOUT

Product marketer for things
that are hard to describe

I love products that are difficult to explain, the kind that require a bit of thinking before they click. My skill is taking that complexity and turning it into something people actually understand.

Currently, I lead product marketing at Trezor, the original Bitcoin hardware wallet company, focusing on the intersection of hardware and crypto security. Before Trezor, I spent years in the analytics space at GoodData, the leading AI-powered cloud analytics platform, and helped build the product marketing community here in Prague, one of Europe's rising tech hubs.

At my core, I'm a tech enthusiast who firmly believes that open-source code is how we take back control.
