As a team, we’ve succeeded to reinforce and develop LocalTapiola as a financial group that believes in local presence and builds and contributes to well-being in Finland. LocalTapiola has systematically grown, developed and advanced, in particular, its digital competences and sustainability work. I am proud of these achievements. For me personally, now is the right time to hand over the reins, and also to dedicate time to other areas of life,” says Juha Koponen.During June, LocalTapiola’s Cooperation Committee of the Supervisory Boards will launch the process to find a new CEO.
