Juha Pihanen
Juha is an experienced producer, who in the past 30 years has worked in theatre, sports, multimedia and IT, to name a few. His baptism of fire in disruptive technologies came at Apple, where he worked as Finnish language producer for Siri in the beginning of this decade.
In his company, TopLine Media, Juha has been concentrating on new technologies in storytelling and creating user-centered web content and applications. His expertise covers AI, gamification as well as extended reality. As a part of learning Virtual Production, he also has gained basic skills in Unreal game engine.
Juha’s strengths lie in his multifaceted background: He can see beyond traditional barriers and find synergies between actors that at the first sight seem to have very little in common.
At Createch Finland, Juha’s responsibilities therefore include lobbying Finnish and European decision makers – to better understand the possibilities of new technologies and to streamline support instruments to help European companies conquer the emerging global markets.
Juha also is a Stella Adler Studio trained actor and has a degree in music. He has worked in various productions both home and abroad, and has been lucky to work with four Oscar winners.
