ELIKYA Digital helps European industrial manufacturers establish and grow in the American market. Founded in 2011 and based in Atlanta, the practice brings 25+ years of B2B industrial marketing experience, including prior roles at 3D Systems and Gravotech.
The hard part of US expansion is rarely the product. It is everything that follows the market-entry decision: distributors working from outdated materials, technical documentation written for a different buyer, and no senior marketing owner in-market. That is the gap this practice was built to close.
Séverine Rigaud is the Founder and Global Fractional Marketing Director of ELIKYA Digital. She has spent 25+ years leading marketing for multi-market industrial and technical organizations, on both sides of the Atlantic.
That means she has sat on both sides of the table: inside European manufacturing businesses, and across from American procurement teams. The work is built on how US industrial buyers actually evaluate suppliers, not on assumptions carried over from the home market.
You work with her directly. There is no handoff to a junior team, and no account manager between you and the person who wrote your strategy.
In Lingala, spoken in the Democratic Republic of Congo, elikya means hope — not a wish, but the confident expectation of a positive outcome.
Growing up in Kinshasa, our founder learned to treat hope as a discipline: the belief that expansion is possible with the right strategy, the right tools, and the right partner.
That is why this practice exists — to build economic resilience and a business world without borders, one market entry at a time.
