Six members have also been elected to the board: Lasse Aho; Annikka Hurme; Esa Härmälä; Seppo Laine; Veijo Meriläinen; and Niko Simula.
Veijo Meriläinen was appointed as the chairman of the board while Esa Härmälä is deputy chairman.
The changes come weeks after Apetit revealed plans to cement its position as Finland’s leading brand in vegetable food products, including the appointment of Tero Heikkinen as chief financial officer after serving as acting CFO since 27 November, when it was announced Sami Saarnio was set to leave the firm under his own accord.
