Lejla Sarcevic

Lejla is an Intellectual Forum Senior Research Associate.

Lejla Sarcevic is a former investigative journalist and researcher, who worked on the Pulitzer Prize-winning Panama Papers - a leaked cache of documents which exposed the secretive offshore finance industry. She has also worked on issues of press freedom around the world, and while finishing her Master's Degree at the University of Maryland, alongside Professor Dana Priest, she founded Press Uncuffed - a student-run organization advocating for imprisoned journalists.

Lejla's experience and focus on how people consume media and what organizations can do to encourage curiosity for complex topics led her to co-found ukiyo-kór - a creative agency that helps journalists, academics, scientists, and brands tell important stories in innovative, creative, and interactive ways.
