I am the Director of Sitra’s Democratic Innovations programme. Together with my team, I develop innovations for citizen participation to strengthen decision-making capacity and trust in society. We carry out funding and experiments and provide training in close co-operation with wellbeing services counties, municipalities and universities, among others.
I have more than 15 years of experience in research and development on themes related to democracy. I have a Doctor of Social Sciences degree. I am one of the authors of two books discussing the transformation of the media: Totuuden jälkeen: Miten media selviää paskapuheen ja algoritmien aikana (‘The post-truth era: How will the media cope in the era of bullshit and algorithms’, Teos 2018) and Portinvartijat: Kamppailu tiedon vapaudesta (‘Gatekeepers: The fight for the freedom of information’, Teos 2023). I am also a member of the Board of the Federation for Innovations in Democracy (FIDE), an international organisation that promotes democratic innovations.
Social segregation, trust, participation, media and democratic innovations are topics that will engage me in discussions. Do not hesitate to contact me.
