Mikko Wartiovaara appointed as CFO and member of the Management Team at Tesi

Mikko has a strong track record in strategic and growth-oriented financial management. He also has extensive experience in business relevant to Tesi’s operating environment and in investor relations, including IPOs, strategic projects and M&As.

Mikko will join Tesi from listed Inderes Oyj, where he served as both CFO and Deputy CEO. Before Inderes, Mikko worked as CFO in technology and security companies, and he has also gained experience in the finance organisations of large international corporations.

“Tesi’s new strategy period has got off to a flying start. It’s fantastic to have such a multi-talented high achiever with a business partner spirit as Mikko join us. He will play an important role in developing Tesi’s operations and in helping the most promising Finnish startups, scaleups, industrial projects and VC & PE funds grow,” says Pia Santavirta, Tesi’s CEO.

“Tesi has a unique role as a catalyst for private capital, and I look forward to joining the Tesi team and now viewing growth and value creation through the eyes of an investor. As CFO, I want to support sound investment decisions and make sure that every euro Tesi invests works many times over for Finland’s growth,” says Wartiovaara.
