She previously headed the VINNOVA Centre of Excellence for Sustainable Communications at KTH, as its Centre Director 2006-2007.
Charlie Gullström is an experienced architect: from 1990-2005 she led a widely-renowned practice in Stockholm, specialising in designing meeting spaces for which learning, collaboration and communication are central, explicit concerns for leading Swedish corporations and educational institutions.
