As the Head of People and Culture, Soininen is responsible for the comprehensive leadership, development, and implementation of Tesi's personnel strategy and processes. Additionally, she serves as a supervisor for Tesi's HR team.
Having previously held the position of HR Lead for the Finnish branch of the growth company Wolt, Soininen brings nearly two decades of experience in various human resources management roles to her role in the executive team.
"Private equity and venture capital is a 'people's business,' so it is only natural that a leader responsible for personnel and corporate culture is part of the executive team. Tesi is on the verge of its largest transformation in history due to the upcoming merger of state private equity and venture capital companies, and Maija's deep expertise in personnel management is particularly valuable in times of such significant change," commented Santavirta.
"It's exciting to be part of building the new Tesi together for everyone and actively involved in the merger through executive team collaboration. A skilled and committed personnel is crucial in constructing sustainable growth," stated Soininen.

Suomessa kasvava joukko puhtaan siirtymän yrityksiä29.6.2024 00:04:21 EEST | Tiedote
Tesin (Suomen Teollisuussijoitus) tuoreen selvityksen mukaan Suomessa kasvaa puhtaan siirtymän kasvuyrityksiä hyvällä tahdilla ja lupaavilla kasvuluvuilla. Rahoitusta yritysten alkuvaiheeseen on saatavilla melko hyvin, mutta myöhemmän kasvun vaihe huolestuttaa: vain alle 15 prosenttia myöhemmistä rahoituskierroksista toteutetaan kokonaan kotimaisin voimin, joten riippuvuus kansainvälisistä sijoituksista on suurta.
Finland is home to a growing number of clean tech companies29.6.2024 00:04:21 EEST | Press release
A recent study by Tesi (Finnish Industry Investment) reveals that Finland is steadily increasing its number of cleantech growth companies and that these companies show promising growth rates. Financing availability for the early stages of these companies is fairly good, but there is cause for concern about financing for their later-stage growth. Less than 15% of their later-stage funding rounds are raised entirely domestically, so dependence on international investments is high.
Pohjoismaisten puhtaan siirtymän kasvuyritysten rahoituksessa kapeikkoja14.5.2024 00:01:00 EEST | Tiedote
Yhteispohjoismaisen, tuoreen selvityksen mukaan pohjoismaiset puhtaan siirtymän kasvuyritykset tarvitsevat 15 miljardia euroa venture capital -kasvurahaa seuraavan viiden vuoden aikana, mikäli aiempaan kasvutahtiin halutaan yltää. Tesin (Suomen Teollisuussijoitus) ja pohjoismaisten yhteistyökumppaneiden selvitys on ensimmäinen laatuaan.
Bottlenecks in financing for Nordic cleantech companies14.5.2024 00:01:00 EEST | Press release
According to a recent study, Nordic cleantech growth companies will need EUR 15 billion in venture capital funding over the next five years to maintain previous growth rates. This study is the first of its kind.
Haastavasta taloustilanteesta huolimatta suomalaisten pääomasijoitusrahastojen tuotot pysyneet hyvällä tasolla24.4.2024 00:01:39 EEST | Tiedote
Tesin (Suomen Teollisuussijoitus) uuden selvityksen mukaan suomalaisten pääomasijoitusrahastojen pitkän aikavälin tuotot ovat laskeneet edellisvuodesta vain hyvin maltillisesti. Iso osa rahastoista on tuotoiltaan edelleen eurooppalaisia verrokkeja ja pörssin tuottoja edellä.
