Alongside the changes revealed today, the company will discontinue the group chief medical officer role and introduce a medical management team chaired by Jukka Pitkänen, integrating medical decision-making more closely with business operations.

Kotilainen has held multiple leadership roles at the company since 2015, including leading business transformation, customer steering, and regional operations before becoming SVP of operations in 2025. Tissari has served in her current role since 2024, overseeing brand, marketing, digital sales, and customer experience, and previously held several vice president roles at Finnair as well as serving as CEO and co-founder of Vestiarium.

“I warmly welcome Niki and Tiina to the Group’s Executive Team,” said CEO Ville Iho, adding that the changes will strengthen decision-making and support strategy execution.
