Hello curious minds,
Monday is here again, which means it’s time for Listeds Pulse Nordic!
This is your weekly Monday briefing on the most relevant leadership shifts shaping the corporate landscape in Finland. We are also almost done collecting the moves in the Swedish market, so stay tuned. :)
This edition covers changes between August 18 – August 24, 2025. We tracked 4 management changes and 3 board changes across Finnish listed companies.
Board changes
Enersense
Carl Haglund has stepped down from the Board — an expected move after taking over as CEO of Aktia earlier this month.
Jan-Elof Cavander (b. 1985) and Jari Ålgars have joined as new Board Members.
Enersense stands out with its younger-than-average leadership profile:
On the Board, both Cavander (1985) and Anna Miettinen (1981) represent the 80s generation.
In the Management Team, Miika Erola (EVP, Connectivity, b. 1981) and Jyri Juusela (EVP, Legal and Risk Management, b. 1981, appointed July 2025) also bring millennial-era perspectives.
⚡️ A noteworthy case of generational shift in a listed company’s top leadership.
Management team changes
This week also brings a wave of millennial leaders into top roles, with new appointments at Bioretec and SRV.
SRV Group
Mikko Kiesiläinen (b. 1987, M.Sc. London School of Economics) has been appointed SVP, Development and Member of the Executive Team, starting August 2025.
Kiesiläinen previously served as Chief Economist for the City of Helsinki, and has a background in business development at Intera Partners and McKinsey & Company.
He also holds a position of trust as a Member of the Supervisory Board of OP Uusimaa since 2021.
"Mikko brings broad experience in business and strategy development both in Finland and internationally. I warmly welcome him to SRV’s team," says CEO Saku Sipola.
Kiesiläinen succeeds Miimu Airaksinen, who is leaving SRV in August to join another employer.
⚡️ The trend continues: Finnish listed companies are increasingly elevating leaders in their late 30s to top executive roles, signaling a generational shift in corporate leadership.
Other companies that had management team changes were Solar Foods, SRV, Summa Defence and Wetteri.
