M.Sc. (Econ.) Pasi Flinkman will start as CEO of Berner Ltd on 2 November 2026. He succeeds Antti Korpiniemi, who will retire at the end of 2026. We announced the CEO change in May 2026.
Flinkman began working at Berner at the beginning of October, and as of 2 November he will take on the responsibilities of CEO. Korpiniemi and Flinkman will work side by side for the remainder of the year to ensure a controlled transition.
Flinkman joins Berner from the position of CEO of Raisio Oyj. He has extensive experience in leadership roles at, among others, the Orkla and Leaf groups, as well as strong expertise in the food industry and international sales.
“My first weeks have been spent getting to know the people and the businesses. What has stayed with me most is how strongly things are done together here, and how customers are at the center of everything. That is a really good foundation to build on”, says Pasi Flinkman.
