Personal profile
Short bio
I am a researcher and advisor specializing in strategic foresight and human insight. I find inspiration in simplifying the complexity of change.
I help companies and public sector organizations in uncovering future paths, understanding shifts in human behavior, and taking appropriate action. I have collaborated with major domestic and international organizations, including clients from industries such as telecommunications, FMCG, finance, energy, and technology.
I have a proven track record of delivering high customer satisfaction and efficient project execution. My toolbox encompasses horizon scanning, trend analysis, scenario planning, visioning, roadmapping, ethnography, co-creation, and more.
Currently, I am also working on a doctoral thesis at the University of Helsinki. My research lies at the intersection of corporate foresight, consumer research, and strategic management.
I have provided expert commentary and opinion articles for leading Finnish television channels, radio programs, and newspapers. I am also an experienced speaker and facilitator, with engagements ranging from keynote speeches to co-creation sessions.
