I consider myself as a law & management researcher, especially in the areas of business management, technology management, and project management. My research interests include law & sustainability, open innovation, IP & technology management, regulation and ethics of applied AI, legal technology, proactive law, proactive contracting, collaborative contracts, and project management of collaborative projects. I am currently working as a postdoctoral researcher at the faculty of law. I am also coordinating activities of Law, Technology and Sustainability Transitions research group.

I am passionate about contributing to the sustainability transition by research activities. I believe we can achieve remarkable results by combining green and digital transition towards more sustainable world for humans and living ecosystems.

I have personally witnessed alarming changes in our environment and natural ecosystems in beautiful and fragile Arctic areas. Thus, I am very concerned about of the climate change and the loss of biodiversity. I am keen to contribute to sustainable development of businesses and I hope I am able to support companies and organisations in sustainability transitions. I think we can facilitate major changes with actions based on research and novel technology solutions.

My first education was in industrial engineering and management. I worked 12 years for Nokia corporation in product management and technology marketing. I was involved in mobile and desktop software development and gained strong orientation towards technology and digitalisation. I have also worked in digital transformation of tourism businesses, both in private and public sector.
