Let’s mention here that since the current Chairman of the Board, Heaulme, has stepped up as CEO, the leadership of the board will naturally change at the spring Annual General Meeting. Joining the board as a new member to take on the role is Ville Vuori, who is currently the Chairman of Aspocomp and Incap. A figure unknown to me, at least.
CEO Heaulme already promised in the Q3 interview that some new efficiency measures would be coming on a relatively fast schedule (this could well be in connection with Thursday’s results), with a strategy update following in the summer. Thus, the new Chairman will be joining these processes mid-way, and the initiative in them seems to rest with Heaulme and his team.
By the way, there will be the usual CEO interview in connection with Thursday’s Q4 results – if you have any questions, feel free to send them our way. In the Q3 interview, we already covered quite a lot of Charles’s general views on Suominen.
