I look forward to starting in the role and getting to know the company and its people”, says Pasi Flinkman.

Pasi Flinkman succeeds Antti Korpiniemi, who has led Berner for 13 years, a period during which the company has grown and expanded internationally in significant ways.

“I would like to warmly thank Antti Korpiniemi already at this stage for his long-term and distinguished work for Berner. Under Antti’s leadership, we have achieved record results even in challenging operating environments. Antti has built Berner’s growth in a long-term and responsible manner, in line with the company’s values”, Nicolas Berner says.
