Eeva Sipilä has announced she will depart Metso after serving as the company’s chief financial officer since 2016.
In a release to the stock exchange, Metso confirmed Sipilä, who currently serves as chief financial officer and deputy chief executive officer, will leave the company to join another employer. According to the release, she will depart in April 2025.
“I would like to warmly thank Eeva for her significant contribution to Metso’s development over the past years,” said Pekka Vauramo, president and chief executive officer at Metso.
“Her notable achievements include serving as interim CEO in 2018 and successfully executing the merger of Metso and Outotec, both in terms of financial management and business operations, as well as other corporate functions.
“We all wish her the best of luck and success in her new challenges.”
Metso has started its search for a new chief financial officer.
This comes after the company announced that Sami Takaluoma will take over from Vauramo as chief executive officer and president on November 1.
“The board is convinced that Sami is the right choice to lead Metso into its next phase,” said Kari Stadigh, chair of Metso’s board of directors.
“On behalf of the entire board, I would also like to extend our thanks to Pekka Vauramo, who is now stepping down from his role as president and CEO of Metso as earlier agreed.
“Under Pekka’s leadership, Metso has evolved into an even stronger company, with a significantly enhanced culture and improved customer satisfaction, and its profitability has been clearly raised to a new level. We wish Pekka all the best and success in his new phase of life.”
