F-Secure Corporation has appointed Robin Pulkkinen as its next chief financial officer, bringing a seasoned finance executive to a resilient cybersecurity business navigating its next phase of renewal.

Pulkkinen will join F-Secure’s leadership team no later than June 2026, succeeding Sari Somerkallio, who will leave the company following a transition period ending in April, the Helsinki-headquartered cybersecurity group announced today. 

The incoming CFO steps into a company in the midst of strategic repositioning. F-Secure is reshaping itself into an AI-native consumer cybersecurity provider, with new platforms such as the partner business platform Horizon and Halo, a mobile-first scam protection service, scheduled for launch in early 2026. To support this shift, the company has strengthened its leadership team during the year, appointing Chief Product Officer TL Viswanathan and Chief Technology Officer Santeri Kangas, according to Listeds data.

F-Secure’s third-quarter performance in 2025 highlighted resilience against softer consumer demand. Currency-neutral revenue grew by 1.3 percent in the quarter, while reported revenue edged down to EUR 36.1 million due to currency headwinds, the company said in its interim report. Looking ahead, F-Secure has signaled an increased emphasis on partner-led distribution rather than direct consumer sales.

Pulkkinen joins from Revenio Group, where he has served as CFO since 2015. During his tenure, Revenio evolved from a device-focused business into a global eye care diagnostics group, while steadily improving profitability in the past five years. In the third quarter of 2025, Revenio reported net sales growth of 8 percent to EUR 25.9 million, with operating profit rising to EUR 6 million, or 23.2 percent of net sales, underscoring the company’s ability to convert growth into earnings, according to the latest interim report.
