About me

As Estonia's Lead for the global GovStack inititative, I'm at the forefront of scaling digital public services globally, driving transformative change through inclusive leadership and innovative strategies. My journey in digital transformation spans across both government and private technology sectors both within Estonia and on global/EU scale, where I've seamlessly blended technical expertise with strategic vision. With a robust professional background from non-profit, government and private tech sectors in leading high-stakes initiatives, from digital identity technologies at Cybernetica to secure space data solutions at Guardtime, I've proven my ability to navigate complex technological and policy landscapes and foster meaningful international collaborations. My roles have involved coordinating diverse teams of both technical experts and policy officers, engaging with global high level political stakeholders, and advocating for cutting-edge digital solutions that empower both public and private entities worldwide. I am passionate about leveraging technology to enhance both government and private sector digital services, ensuring digital integrity, and fostering innovation. My experiences as a government innovation and RD policy strategist and EU diplomat of economic and technology affairs further proves my ability to drive policy-oriented digital initiatives.
