Karri Varis, D.Sc. (Tech.), has been appointed Aktia’s interim Chief Financial Officer (CFO) as of 1 September 2024. In this capacity Varis reports to Aktia’s CEO and will be a member of the Group’s Executive Committee.

“I am pleased that Karri Varis assumes the role of interim CFO and I welcome him to our Executive Committee. Karri's experience and analytical approach provide an excellent basis for this role, also considering our ongoing strategy update,” says Aleksi Lehtonen, CEO of Aktia.

The appointment is conditional on the Financial Supervisory Authority not having any objections to the appointment.
