Finnair’s CEO, Pekka Vauramo, has given notice of his resignation from the company to join Metso Corporation as their new CEO. He will leave Finnair at the latest in November 2018. The search for Vauramo’s successor starts immediately.
“The Board of Finnair is naturally sad to see Pekka Vauramo leave the company, but we also respect his personal decision to take on another challenge. We thank Pekka for his leadership in the past five years and wish him lots of success in his future role,” says Jouko Karvinen, chairman of Finnair’s board of directors. “During the past few years, Finnair’s people have achieved a remarkable transformation and have turned Finnair into a growth company. We all at Finnair, including the board, will now continue this extensive journey of transformation.”
