M.Sc. (Econ.) Enni Rautio has been appointed as the Interim Director of Tesi’s Fund Investments team and as a member of the Management Team, effective 1 November 2024. She transitions to this role from her previous position as Investment Director within the same team. Enni joined Tesi in 2016 and has since held roles in both the Financial and Fund Investments teams.
Matias Kaila, the previous director of the Fund Investments team, has decided to embark on a new phase in his career outside of Tesi. Recruitment for a permanent team lead will begin soon.
“Tesi is stepping into a new phase, in which its role will strengthen further. It’s fantastic to welcome Enni into her new position, where she will continue the valuable work of advancing the Finnish venture capital and private equity market—a task she has actively pursued with Matias and the entire team. We would also like to warmly thank Matias for his positive energy and many achievements during the last strategic period. Tesi’s fund investment activities have now reached a European benchmark level among state-owned investors,” says Tesi’s CEO, Pia Santavirta.
“I joined Tesi in 2017 with the goal of reforming and further developing Tesi’s fund investment operations together with the team. The current state of the operations is strong, and I’m confident that Enni’s capable leadership will continue this success. I would like to extend my gratitude to my team for an excellent and fulfilling journey together, and to the entire Tesi organization for their trust, collaboration, and support,” says Matias Kaila.
