RAPALA VMC CORPORATION: CHANGES IN THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
Implementation of the new ONE RAPALA VMC strategy is progressing much faster and is significantly ahead of the plan. A key element of the new ONE RAPALA VMC strategy is for our managers to work closer with our business units around the world with as few management layers as possible in between. To further simplify the management structure and to maintain the current transitional momentum the Helsinki based HR will from now on support more regional Rapala VMC teams with focus on Europe.
In connection with these changes in emphasis of group HR management Head of Group Human Resources Tiina Rolig has decided to pursue opportunities elsewhere and she will leave Rapala VMC and the Executive Committee before the end of November.
