Finnair has appointed Pia Aaltonen-Forsell as Chief Financial Officer and member of the Executive Board, effective from August 1, 2025. She will commence her role at Finnair on June 15, 2025.
Aaltonen-Forsell joins Finnair from Northvolt, where she has served as Chief Financial Officer. She has previously held CFO roles at Outokumpu and Ahlström-Munksjö. Aaltonen-Forsell is also a member of the Board of Directors and Chair of the Audit Committee at UPM-Kymmene Corporation.
“With her strategic vision and solid financial expertise, Pia brings a valuable contribution to the Finnair team as we continue to develop Finnair's competitiveness and financial position in an ever-changing and cyclical operating environment. I warmly welcome Pia to my team,” says Turkka Kuusisto, company CEO
“Strong balance sheets and financial discipline have always been important to me – they're the backbone of any successful business. But what truly drives business performance is a strong, united team with a shared target. I look forward to partnering closely with teams across Finnair – it is great to get to join this dynamic industry,” says Aaltonen-Forsell.
In February 2025, the company announced that its current Chief Financial Officer, Kristian Pullola, would leave the company by August 2025 at the latest.
