At the beginning of September, Jenni Tuovinen took up her role as senior advisor for Demos, a funding programme providing project funding to civil society organisations. For more than a decade, Jenni has worked across the creative and public sectors – from guiding individual cultural practitioners through selection processes, to co-ordinating export initiatives with a broad network of international partners.

After 14 years abroad, Jenni is back in Helsinki. She has previously worked for Music Finland, the British Council, and the International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam (IDFA), one of the world’s leading documentary film festivals and a documentary film institute. For the past three years, while working as Head of New Media Operations at IDFA, she led the activities of the interdisciplinary platform IDFA Doc-Lab, which brings together documentary storytelling, technology, and art. Throughout her career, Jenni has worked on everything from network-building in the cultural sector and funding advice to mapping industry needs and measuring programme impact. Jenni holds a master’s degree in film exhibition and curation and a bachelor’s degree in journalism and communication.

A very warm welcome, Jenni!
