Petteri Mäkeläinen

Senior Lead, Programmes

I work as a digital transformation specialist at Sitra. I’m specialised in the utilisation of the data economy and artificial intelligence in societal innovations. My work focuses on introducing strategic thinking into practice and building cooperation between different organisations. I believe that, with the right approach, significant impacts can be achieved even by making only small changes. Being able to contribute to building a sustainable future by making concrete decisions is what motivates me.

Before Sitra, I worked in an international pioneering company that promotes ethics in the digital world. In this company, I helped clients succeed in the deployment of new technologies and develop their capabilities with the support of digitisation. I have extensive experience in the technological sector, ranging from start-ups to large companies, and a strong background in the promotion of multidisciplinary co-operation.

Contact me if you need a specialist who understands the links between sustainability, business activities and societal changes. I am happy to encourage and support you in the developing ideas, building cooperation networks and finding solutions to the challenges of a sustainable future.
