Tuula originally joined Sitra as a specialist in impact measurement and she is an economist by training. However, she is first and foremost an experiment-oriented multidisciplinarian for whom nothing is impossible. Tuula has a special interest in people, democracy and the services of daily life.

What else?

Tuula believes that we are in a time of major transformation and that digitalisation will entail the transfer of power from institutions to people. We should turn this transformation to our advantage by promoting participation in society. After all, it is a matter of the interest of the individual and the nation – and what the future will hold for all of us.
