Minni Lempinen, former CFO of Endomines Plc, will join KH Group Plc as chief financial officer on Aug. 17, 2026, marking the first management team appointment this year, following CEO Carl Haglund’s entry last year.

Lempinen succeeds Tommi Rötkin, who will leave the company by June 3 after serving as CFO for two years, while Pekka Raatikainen will act as interim CFO during the transition period, the owner of KH-Koneet announced today.

Lempinen joins KH Group as the Helsinki-listed company continues its strategic transformation from a private equity-focused firm into a heavy machinery-focused corporation. She was awarded the CFO of the Year by the Nordic Listed Leaders last year. She previously worked as group business controller at the mining company, auditor at Business Finland, and group finance manager at Solwers Plc.

“Minni brings strong experience and knowhow to KH Group as our company is on a strategic journey to transform from a stock listed private equity company to a corporation focusing on heavy machinery,” CEO Carl Haglund said.
