In Finnish, Intohimo means passion. We are a development advisory firm that believes the best strategies are built on the ground, in the dust, and with the people.
"When the community owns the change, it stays."
— Founder's Journal
"We realized early on that development sector advisory had become too clinical. Too many spreadsheets, not enough soul. Intohimo was built to bridge that gap."
We spend 70% of our strategy time in the field, not the office.
We design for the next 20 years, not the next quarterly report.
