Niko Haavisto will become the new Chief Financial Officer of Nokian Tyres and a member of the company’s Management team as of 1 October 2023, succeeding Teemu Kangas-Kärki. In this role, he will report to Jukka Moisio, President and Chief Executive Officer. Jari Huuhtanen, VP, Group Business Control, will continue in the interim position of SVP, Finance and Treasury, until the end of February 2024.
Nokian Tyres has given word that Teemu Kangas-Kärki, CFO and Management Team member, has decided to leave the company. He will remain with Nokian Tyres until 30 November 2023. The recruitment process for his successor has started, and Jari Huuhtanen, VP, Group Business Control, will hold the interim role of SVP, Finance and Treasury, until a permanent replacement arrives.
Anyone listening to the Nokian Tyres conference call on Tuesday in the hope of gaining insights into negotiations with Tatneft were sorely disappointed. More than 3 months after Nokian announced the sale of its Russian operations for around 400 million euros, fundamental aspects of the deal are still completely opaque. Jukka Moisio, president and CEO of Nokian Tyres, brought no clarity to the subject.
On 26 February, Jaana Klinga will join Nokian Tyres as the company’s new General Counsel. She comes to the tyre maker from PwC Finland, where she worked for the previous four years as a partner and general counsel, and held overall responsibility for the firm’s legal matters and played a key role in its risk management and compliance. Klinga holds a Master of Laws degree from Helsinki University.
Teemu Kangas-Kärki has been named Nokian Tyres’ new chief financial officer, a position he will take up on 16 July. The tyre maker has also announced that, starting 1 October, Jukka Kasi will become its new vice-president, Products and Technologies. Both men gain a place on the Nokian Tyres management team and report to Hille Korhonen, the company’s president and chief executive officer.
