PEKKA SIVONEN TO BE A PART-TIME CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Pekka Sivonen discontinues being a full-time chairman of the board for a
certain period of time, but he will continue to lead the board of directors as
the chairman. Sivonen himself asked the board of directors to release him from
his duties as a full-time chairman, due to personal reasons, until the end of
August. Sivonen continues as the chairman of the board in accordance with the
companies' act of Finland.
Chairman of the Board Pekka Sivonen: ”The reason for me to drop the duties of
full-time chairman for this period is that I have a strong personal need to
focus on the development of my other majority owned company, since the strong
building phase of that company is now beginning.
The new President and CEO of Digia has started in the beginning of the year,
and he has already proved his capability to lead the company forward to the
desired direction together with the board of directors. Digia is in excellent
shape and I will continue to support the CEO in his work through normal board
work.”
