Kari Herlevi heads Sitra’s Global collaboration for sustainability solutions. He is a multi-skilled circular economy and sustainability expert.

What?

Contact Kari if you want to do big things to promote the circular economy. He headed Sitra’s Circular economy project for eight years.

Previously, Kari led the Green Growth programme at Tekes, which was associated with the circular economy and had a financing volume of more than 100 million euros. He also has experience in Silicon Valley, where he had the privilege of working with the best people in the field.
