Marcin Rutkowski, current Director of Business Unit Poland, will continue in his position and report to Veli-Matti Savo.

After the changes, the Group’s Management Team will consist of Heikki Martela (CEO), Ari-Matti Purhonen (VP, Business Unit Finland and Group Product Portfolio), Veli-Matti Savo (VP, Business Unit International and Marketing), Petri Boman (VP, Supply Chain Management and R&D) and Markku Pirskanen (CFO).
