Background
I'm senior circular economy professional (D.Soc.Sc.) with 15+ years of experience in sustainability transformations, policy development and analysis. I have vast background in policies that promote sustainable consumption and production but also in project management, network leadership, strategy and communications. Since the beginning of the year 2023, I have been acting as a group manager for the Policy and consumption group of the Circular economy solutions unit at the Finnish Environment Institute (Syke). Further, I'm a co-lead of Circular Economy Finland (KiSu), the national knowledge hub for circular economy in Finland. I enjoy cross-sectoral collaboration and action research that paves paths for change.
