Ifeoma Kulmala

Ifi’s work at Demos Helsinki is focused on all things people. She’s the one to ensure that our people-related matters are handled in a way that is not only functioning smoothly but also serves the goals of our impact model, reinforces the values we want to commit to in our everyday work, and supports the well-being of our community. Managing these responsibilities is crucial to enable combining our individual skills in order to achieve our impact objectives. Ifi is a wizard in building a shared sense of ownership and commitment in the community. She describes herself as a ‘chaotic good’ generalist.

Prior to Demos Helsinki, Ifi has gained experience in building thriving work communities by working as the COO at Do Company, a service operator with a mission to put academics into action.

During her free time, Ifi can be found immersed in storytelling sci-fi board games. Galactic power struggles, political space wranglings, colliding space fleets and exploding planets – these adventures can result in a day-long game!
