I have a PhD in corporate environmental management and a MSc degree in biology. I am currently on research leave from a university lecturer position at JSBE where I have taught courses on sustainability transition and sustainable business strategies and models while doing my research. My previous work experience includes working as a researcher in the School of Forest Sciences at the University of Eastern Finland as well as at the Finland Futures Research Centre at the University of Turku. I have been a visiting scholar at the UC Berkeley at Energy and Resources Group (2008–2009, 2011) and at the University of Graz at Department of Environmental System Sciences for several periods in 2017-2023. I also have an extensive teaching experience, with a previous career as a natural sciences teacher and a degree in adult education. 

My expertise lies in the area of innovations for sustainability, especially on change management and sustainable business models. In my work I draw on transdisciplinary theoretical premises, combining management approaches with research of systemic transitions. I have a specific knowledge in the field of shared value creation and collaborative business models. I have applied mixed methods approaches (combining quantitative and qualitative methods), but my methodological expertise lies in qualitative, future-oriented research approaches.
