Biografia

I am a Senior Lead in Sitra’s Sustainability programme. My work involves finding solutions to societal challenges related to the sustainability transition and scaling innovations related to solving them. I have more than 20 years of experience in anticipating and analysing different societal challenges at Sitra.

I have a doctorate in administrative sciences and my dissertation was in the field of environmental sociology. I am motivated by a will to make society of the future ecologically and socially sustainable. I believe we need an ecological structural change, which means changes at the levels of practical measures, structures and our ideals.

Contact me if you would like to know more about the societal side of environmental issues or anticipation of issues related to sustainability.
