Glaston is strengthening its customer-focused strategy with a renewed leadership structure and the appointment of Tuomo Nuottimäki to its Executive Leadership Team.

In this connection, Tuomo Nuottimäki, currently VP Sales MEA+ SEAI, is appointed SVP EMEAI and a member of the Executive Leadership Team. Tuomo Nuottimäki will report to CEO Miika Äppelqvist. For over 20 years, Nuottimäki, M.Sc. (Eng.), has held various sales leadership roles at Glaston and brings valuable customer insight to the leadership team.

Following these changes, Glaston's Executive Leadership Team consists of:

  • Miika Äppelqvist, President and CEO
  • Magnus Sjöblom, CFO
  • Jens Mayr, EVP Solutions & Operations
  • Robert Jenks, EVP Services
  • Joe Butler, EVP Americas
  • Tuomo Nuottimäki, SVP EMEAI
  • Minna Toiviainen, General Counsel

“I am very pleased that we can fill this role from within Glaston with a person who has a thorough knowledge of our customers and industry. Tuomo brings decades of experience to our commercial leadership and is committed to developing how we serve customers and enable growth," says Miika Äppelqvist, President and CEO of Glaston.
