Background

About Jonathan Kuttainen

I’ve been fortunate to work in management and project management across several industries including education, ICT, and a variety of government departments (local, state and federal) that have challenged my skills and personal development. I've worked with private, public, and not-for-profits to develop projects and services in strategy, business analysis, and change management based on my capabilities in socio-economic research and business management. I have over a decade's experience in organisational strategy, business development, management, and PM. I have worked in business administration in education, as well as administration and PM roles in local, state, and federal government in Queensland. I also spent four years as a board director for an independent private school while it underwent an incredible growth phase. Currently I’m project managing some of the integral exhibit design inputs, including co-designing exhibits with Traditional Owners, the future business strategy and developing partnerships for the education centre at Townsville’s Great Barrier Reef Aquarium as it is undertaking a major refurbishment. I have a PhD in Sociology. The doctoral research project studied the social and economic impacts of digital financial services in communities and households in rural Uganda. Drawing on my professional skill set and my academic background, the study drew on disciplines of sociology, economics and anthropology. I’m currently researching and project managing and can be reached through this profile or by email: jkuttainen@gmail.com
