Soirola brings extensive experience leading growth-oriented software organizations, most recently at Finago and Accountor Software, where he unified multiple Nordic software companies under a single brand and operating model. His background spans international markets, operational leadership, and helping organizations scale through strong culture, clarity, and customer centricity.

A leader guided by purpose, values, and a clear North Star

Commenting on his appointment, announced in February, Soirola said:

"I'm excited to step into this role at Elisa Industriq-not just because of the business opportunity, but because of the values this organization lives by. I believe strongly in leading with purpose, clarity, and trust, and in creating an environment where people feel ownership of the journey we're on together.

Our North Star is clear: to elevate Elisa Industriq's position as a globally recognized software provider and to help our customers achieve measurable transformation. What motivates me most is the combination of world-class solutions, customers we are proud to support, and highly talented people who turn our work into meaningful outcomes every day. I'm looking forward to building this next chapter openly, inclusively, and with ambition."

Accelerating an already strong growth platform

Over the past few years, Elisa Industriq has built a strong portfolio of software solutions to support customers in the manufacturing, telecommunications, and energy sectors. Having concluded its initial growth phase, the company is now focused on scaling internationally, driving deeper integration across its businesses, and increasing global brand visibility.

Soirola succeeds Henri Korpi, who was appointed to lead Elisa's Consumer Customers business after eight years of building Elisa Industriq into a €150 million international software unit.

With his appointment, Soirola also becomes a member of Elisa's Corporate Executive Board effective March 30, 2026.

Strengthening the leadership team

Elisa Industriq has recently reinforced its leadership team with several new appointments supporting its next phase of international growth. In addition to welcoming Mikko Soirola as CEO, the company has appointed:

• Jorma Niemelä as Chief Operating Officer (COO)
• Americo Mazzotta as Chief Commercial Officer (CCO)

These additions further strengthen Elisa Industriq's operational, commercial, and strategic capabilities as it continues its expansion across global industrial markets.
