Matti Niemi has previously worked as the political special advisor to Prime Minister Sanna Marin and as the secretary to the SDP’s (Social Democratic Party) Government group. He is joining Miltton from the cabinet of EU Commissioner Jutta Urpilainen.
“I want to bring my experience in both urban politics and national and EU-level decision-making to Miltton’s clients. At the same time, I look forward to working with Miltton’s clients to develop the use of artificial intelligence and other new technologies in public and governmental affairs as well as advocacy,” says Matti Niemi.
As Managing director, Niemi will also be responsible for coordinating the operations of Miltton Networks’ public affairs teams across various markets, as well as service development in the Baltic region, Northern and Central Europe, and the United States.
“The environment in which Miltton’s clients operate is particularly interesting, but also complex: it is shaped by domestic decision-making, international politics, positioning on sustainability, and technological development. Miltton is the leading player in stakeholder relations and societal influence, with a broad team of experts capable of providing clients with a 360-degree situational overview and supporting them in effective engagement with their operating environment,” Niemi adds.
