Antti Toponen
General counsel, Sulapak
Antti Toponen is a lawyer and one of the four authors of the book Digitalisaatio. In Negotiator 12, recorded over Zoom in the first coronavirus spring, he had just left the Dottir law firm to become general counsel at Sulapak, which looks for bio-based, recyclable substitutes for plastic packaging. He says the move was about meaning, not the epidemic. With Jaakko Lindgren he takes the then-viral question — who ran your digital transformation, the CEO, the CTO, or COVID-19 — and answers it from the legal side: remote-work tools had been ready for a decade, management culture had not, wet signatures and physical AGMs collapsed in weeks, and value chains, the sharing economy and big-data surveillance all changed sign. This draft does not claim his 2020 title is still current.
