Lasse will take up the position following his brother Jarmo Helaakoski, the former CEO of E. Helaakoski Oy. Lasse has been a member of the company‘s Board of Directors since 2023 and has previously worked e.g. as Product Development Manager at Lehto Group, developing an industrial operating model from productisation, technology and product development to factory manufacturing and on–site installation with information systems. During his extensive career, Lasse has also been involved in several management and development positions and projects in the telecommunications, finance and IT sectors, most recently in the international management consulting and IT company CGI.
Lasse is a very dedicated, systematic and approachable person when working with both internal personnel and external stakeholders. Lasse, who lives in Oulu with his family, enjoys sports in his free time and can be seen on different courts with a tennis, padel or golf racket in his hand.
“All I can say is that I have big but well–groomed boots to fill and Jarmo has promised to be the company‘s mainstay also in the future, so we will continue to build E. Helaakoski together with our wonderful and professional staff, customers and other stakeholders.”
Looking forward to meeting you,
Lasse
