Heikki Malinen left his position as President and CEO on 13 June 2012. The chairman of the board of directors, Henrik Ehrnrooth, will act as interim president and CEO until Fries takes over the position later this year. Malinen will support Ehrnrooth and Fries to ensure a smooth handover.
"I want to take this opportunity to thank Heikki Malinen for his dedication and commitment to Poyry during the past four years," said Ehrnrooth. "Despite the challenging business environment, Heikki Malinen has been driving the development of the company forward in many critical areas. I wish him all the best for his future career."
